Rose inspiration please

in Plants

Today I have dug up our old flower bed and would like to turn it into a rose area. I have 3 so far. Chandos beauty, Lucky and A whiter shade of pale. I quite fancy a carpet rose but not sure if it would work. I'm a total novice so would love some ideas on what other people think. I'd like as much fragrance as possible too. Thank you 😊

What kind of exposure does your flower bed have, ie how many hours of sun per day, and what’s your soil like?
It gets the sun from about 2pm until the sun goes down, so around 6 hours. The bed is filled with compost/john innes. Not sure how to describe our natural soil but it is incredibly stoney. Sorry I can't be more specific.
