Default Rose suggestions

I'm looking to replace a dog rose with something slightly less vigorous. Can anyone give me some suggestions that I can go and research? It's nearly 20 years since I've bought a rose, and I've no idea what's out there now.

Essentials:

Single flowers, not more than 2 inches across
very fragrant flowers
Capable of being tied into a 2m high fence, without swamping it or needing major forestry each year.

Nice to have (we'd like at least some of these)

Some other colour than pale or dark pink
scented foliage
Something of interest outside the main flowering season - either repeat foliage, or reliable hip crop, or particularly attractive foliage.
