This is a bloom from my 2nd year 'Constance Spry', it's got twelve buds on this year, up from last year's three. Still going to be at least 3-4 years to reach the level of @Rojas magnificent specimen. Beautiful scent also.
Mum in a million, nice flowers suitable for the vase, fantastic fragrance too. Pearl of St.Luke's Louise Clements, improved colour and scent on a cool evening.

And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils (roses). Taking a bit of liberty with Wordsworth
This is my only yellow rose, now 4 years old and still struggling. It was the weakest bare root of the 5 unnamed roses I bought as a job lot at £3 each on a whim and advertised as 'old English Bush roses' . Despite my efforts it has suffered from rose replant disease. I'm determined not to give up.
Lovely azalea, @ElbFee. Do you know the variety? I probably can’t grow them here, but maybe in a pot. I can remember ever smelling an azalea? What’s the scent similar to?
@pitter-patter Sorry, no. It came with the house and must be really old. They do not grow fast but it is over 3 meter. It is a strong, wafting scent, sweet and fruity. Why do you think it won't grow in your garden? Btw, I have been reading about your garden remodelling. Fantastic job!
@ElbFee. I don’t think I have acid soil here. Sweet, fruity and wafting sounds great! Thanks, the remodelling was a long time ago, over three years ago. Now it’s a jungle!

I need white Eden. Terrible adiction, this rose virus. As I still have not digested the last bare root purchase.
And a photo of my most blooming, most scented plant, an azalea.
Thank you @Nollie for the advice, I’ve cut the stems down as low as I can get. Fingers crossed for new growth!
