@JessicaS I’ve been growing Peach Melba for about three years now. I’m not very impressed. It didn’t flower well this year and it sent lots of canes that have grown over 2m tall with some flowers at the to in late summer. However, it’s not in full sun and, where it is, it’s difficult to train more horizontally. When it does flower, the flowers are beautiful with a good scent and the foliage is very healthy. I did post photos of it, but let me see if I still have some on my iPad.
Hybrid Tea roses are the most false looking to me and seem old fashioned in a dated 70’s way! Otherwise I like all forms except perhaps the really deeply cupped since they can just look balled. Fragrance is key for me too newbie, except when roses are just really good, constant bloomers like JC, in which case they are forgiven the lack.

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 @pitter-patter... how gorgeous. Stunning photos. Can smell your post. I love all of those forms, too. What is the frilly peachy beauty fifth down in your last post?
Husband, distracted, consented to my digging up a patch of lawn in the back part of the back garden to make an island bed. Any advice? It would be full sun... do you put something tall, like an obelisk or standard, bang smack in the middle? I am thinking it will be about 2m x 1.5m or slightly larger. If I find a way to get rid of the clothesline, bigger again!
