The ADVANCED SEARCH on HMF does not select fragrance for a rose by the fragrance notes that are often used in the descriptions, but only in the strength of the fragrance give by the breeder at the time of registration, or when they patent the rose.

To narrow your search, since you are a premium-member of HMF, you can add a few other plant characteristics. For example, you might want to add "class" to your search criteria. You could also add "introduced after, let's say, 1950 and that would narrow the search by setting a time period.

It takes a bit of practice to learn how to narrow a search, but once you get into it, I find it's kind of fun.

nbate,

Just a progress report. We've been able to replicate the issue you reported. It's always very helpful when someone provides a precise example. On the surface it appears the fragrance type (ie citrus) is being ignored. The Advanced Search is quite complex software so it may take a little time to sort out the problem, hopefully not. We'll let you know when we have it corrected.

My next door neighbor and I both have VERY wide (flower covered bushes) of about 31/2 feet. but the bushes have were only planted early this year. Does not look like it will be really tall but who knows in LA?
Sweetness, Memorial Day, Wild Blue Yonder, and Scentimental (which will grow into tree tops) planted in the same bed at the same time are all a foot or 2 taller, but it blooms better than them all.
