[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love roses, and I'm very picky about them: they need to be extremely fragrant AND also disease resistant. Most of the time, it's either one or the other. I don't care how they look, but it turns out that the ones I have, have large, full heads of petals, mostly in the pinks (white and yellow roses are usually not as fragrant). I don't need to spray anything on them, and thankfully I live close enough to a downtown that we practically never get deer. The varieties I have are mostly developed in France and impossible to buy in the DC area, but you can order some of them online (ex: climber Zephirine Drouhin, however it's not the most fragrant - I have it on my porch because it's close enough to smell as we walk past and it does not have thorns). My current favorite is Line Renaud, but I don't know if you'll find it, or if it will be the real thing if you do.[/quote]

There are so many varieties of roses, if you are picky about the cultivar you buy them online.

Your assertion that your roses are special because they were "developed" in France is bs. Zephirine Drouhin is an old Bourbon rose that has been around forever. It is one of my favorites because of the lack of thorns and the strong scent. You can find it in this area, it's just one of a million cultivars so easier to find online. [/quote]
