I planted three Janet roses last spring. I bought them because Jackson & Perkins described them as having a "potent tea rose" fragrance. However, mine have virtually no scent, which has been a big disappointment to me, as I planted them along a little path where I thought it would be pleasant to have fragrance as one walked by. The flowers are very pretty, and the plant itself has grown into a sprawling monster, with long arching canes. I live in Los Angeles, about five miles from the ocean.
