Highly scented patio rose

[Grandadwasthatyou]

I already posted 2 threads about this earlier, one of them was deleted as a duplicate and now I can't find the original.
Basically I was asking advice for a highly fragranced patio rose, preferably pink or lilac but fragrance matters more then colour.
I read that The Queens London Child was the best for fragrance but cannot find it to buy anywhere.
Any suggestions please?

blue for you

Would that work in a patio pot?

I have it in containers and it's doing fine. flowering almost continiously from may to late september.

@bluefoxmug .. what size container do you think I should buy? A really big one?

I've ordered it. It says it comes as a bare root plant in November. Is that when you plant roses?

I just planted David Austen Desdemona at the front of my house and it smells amazing. The smell was wafting out of the boxes before I opened them. It’s creamy white though.

I’ll second Blue for You, fabulous scent.

I have it in a 20l container.
for roses it needs to be deep rather than wide.
they need more food in a container as well, I give a special rose food every couple of months.
bare root are great, during winter the plants slow right down which is best for the plant to be moved without too much trauma. bare root you have a much bigger selection rather than 'fresh' in a container.
plus if you buy a flowering one in a garden centre in a pot, the flowers weaken the plant.

Thank you all for your advice. Really looking forward to smelling it now although it's going to be some time!

Albertine is a rambling rose I had in my last house. Beautiful deep bush pink strong fragrance and quick grower. I grew it in a pot yet it filled the front of my house! Can’t wait to sort my current garden out and grow one here.

I always think the shade of the leaves makes a big difference to a plant and Albertine has a bronzey tint to the leaves which goes beautifully with soft peachy pink flowers.

I've recently bought Rose Synactif by Shiseido from Peter Beales . It's lilac and very scented
