After Mme Gregoire Staechelin and Etoile de Hollande, other roses now have their showtime:
Abraham Darby

The Rambling Rector is a huge rambler with a phantastic strong scent at its best on warm evenings. It had been a stunning sight a couple of years ago, but seemed to be dying last year. Possibly, it had overexerted itself and/or we didn't feed it enough. We had to cut it back severely. This year it has recovered with strength (this year's photos below) and has even sent long branches into the neighboring Camellia Dr Burnside (on the picture below , in June now without flowers), and Cornus mas. In sunshine it is humming with bees.
Ghislaine de Feligonde is a rose that we only planted three years ago. This year she is flowering profusely for the first time with pretty yellowish-orange flowers and a fine scent.

Pink Sidonie with her asymmetric flowers in curls and a sweet soapy scent:

All roses in our garden have some scent - I don't think it makes sense to grow roses without scent. It is too disappointing, if you put your nose into a beautiful rose and she does not give anything back.

Sidonie makes a large heap of a bush. Here she is combined with Alliums and Centranthus ruber in front of the huge leaves of the Federmohn Macleya cordata.
