    As for me I adore roses. All kinds of them! Their wonderful fragrance is the best for me. It's a pity you can't feel it while sitting on the bench in a rose garden. Now I'm looking for such kind of shrub, that has wonderful view, nice aroma and is not likely to fall ill. Because I had bad experience with one, I was really upset. The shrub died and in some time I found a book at http://www.picktorrent.com about it's handling. I wish I had found it earlier. So, though now I know more how to treat the shrub, still I'd like to find the one which is the most unlikely to fall ill.
    By the way, you have a wonderful resource!
