If you want a classic dark red scented rose that is easy to grow and
has a long flowering period, I'd suggest Velvet Fragrance.

I've just remembered that the name of the other one I was trying to
remember is Deep Secret - also deeply red, velvety, and fragrant.

has a large database of rose names.

Should have something appropriate listed.
