Rose inspiration please

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 😊

    Hello 😊

    What kind of exposure does your flower bed have, ie how many hours of sun per day, and what’s your soil like?

    Hi Dappleshade :smile:

    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.
