    That's a grand list of roses @edhelka, I saved it til this morning so I could look them all up. I like Mrs Herbert Stevens but I've been keeping out of the climbing sections of the websites and catalogues as I have no room and don't want to be tempted. 
    I was also ogling Plaisanterie but only have 1 big space left and needed a darker colour really to go with the other plants. Look forward to seeing them all next year!

    @poppyfield64 I had Dioressence on a list last year but didn't end up buying. I think I saw it on Style's website. I'd love know how it gets on for you. It looks to be a great colour.

    im not that keen, but I don’t actively dislike it either. Not rushing for a sniff.
    Same, it’s certainly an unusual smell.

    @Omori...I have indeed got GH, but everywhere I've put it so far (moved it twice), it's always ended up being swamped by other plants and not really produced; but I'm potting it up this Autumn, so next year I might get a sniff of myrrh...but if @iaincd is correct about Constance Spry, I would've already smelt it, because many years ago I grew CS but couldn't put up with the defoliating black spot, but I remember the smell...delicious.

    ..I'm so pleased you are happy with your new rose, it's a beauty isn't it..... and incidentally those two you have are very closely related... so that's a bonus..
