Hi all,
I'm looking to identify a rose with possibly better scent than PB and with flowers in a more orange-pink tone. The plant was growing in a friend's garden in SE England and it was at least 5 feet tall. Lantern-shaped blooms which were borne in 2s and 3s as well as singularly danced in the Summer breeze on slim but stiff, lightly prickly apple green peduncles, the ovoid flowers were only 3.5 inches wide and about 4 inches tall and kept their form - not flattening out like PB or 'Duke of Windsor' for example. When placed in a vase of water their scent production was off the charts, of strawberry, raspberry and a hint of lime. One flower could perfume a room and 2 several rooms. I preferred it to Fragrant Cloud so you can understand my eagerness to find another plant and experience that scent again.
Please suggest here some roses which it might be....?

I'm in the Oakland hills where we get quite a bit of fog at night that settles here. I've got a spot that gets about 6 hrs sun in the AM, and shade in the PM. Based on your experience, do you think Florentina would do well? Thanks so much.

Hi!
Yes it should do just fine. No more blackspot than any other healthy roses in our climate.
