Hi can anyone recommend a highly scented rose
I want to plant maybe up a small obelisk
one that grows no more than 6ft repeat flowering
and pastel pink or white
I have Jubilee celabration in my front garden which is a salmon pink colour and smells amazing.

Gertrude Jekyll is well renowned for its outstanding scent and available as a shrub or climber.
I have 3 GJ shrubs and the scent is strong and gorgeous. It's a true pink though, so you may discount it on that basis.

Hi Elia
look up Lavender Lassie , I've had this beautiful rose growing up and around a smallish obelisk for a number of years now. It's in flower now and it has a huge amount of buds to open and it's not too tall . It has a lovely perfume and it flowers all summer long, and it's a lovely colour.
Thank you they both sound lovely
I am going to the Flower Show at Chatsworth House soon so i will look out for them there
David Austin English roses are known for their perfume so I suggest you have a look at their website to see what you fancy. You'll need one that can be grown as a short climber if you're putting it up an obelisk and Gertrude Jekyll is indeed strongly perfumed (delish), otherwise I can recommend Sceptr'd Isle as a pale pink, highly scented and healthy shrub rose.
sorry I spelt your name wrong Eila
i too have Gertrude Jekyll but the thorns are lethal , very fragrant though.
