Julia Child, Abraham Darby (great fragrance in the house), Teasing Georgia, Wild Blue Yonder (love the color), Our Lady of Guadalupe, Bishop's Castle (great fragrance, beautiful). These are all good reblooming garden roses too.

I love Evelyn for fragrance. For long vase life, Sally Holmes can't be beat.

I just got PJPII as a Mother's Day gift yesterday. (Hubby turned me loose at the garden center). I am looking forward to the blooms.

Marilyn Monroe, Black Magic, Ingrid Bergman, and Peace are my favorites for cutting.

Nice ones are Folkore, Perfect Moment, Osiana (florist rose does well in the garden and very fragrant), Maid of Honor, Leizauber (not positive on the spelling), Imperatice Farah (a bit strange but very longlasting). Pascali produces small but perfect white roses, Lady X produces a pile of rather plain mauve roses, great as a mix in a bouquet, I got a second just because it was a fantastic and prolific bloomer. For a nice Fragrance but not as long lasting are Alec's Red, Double Delight, Blue Nyle (blooms would blow fast but much better after it is estabished).
I have a just started to use Day Breaker, it is a big producer given that it is a floribunda but given that the shape is like a hybrid tea. The roses don't last that long but are so many that I can just go get another stem.
Hope this helps,
I have posted many of these in Hortiplex if you have the time look them up.

Kardinal and Black Magic. Both are red (Black Magic much darker) and last at least 7-10 days in the vase if not more.

Mister Lincoln is renowned for his ability to open even when cut still tightly budded.

I've always been grateful that this gem of information was passed along to me and am happy to share it again.

Fragrance, beauty, longevity in the vase, compliments.

He's perfect.

my favorites for cutting have always been St. Patrick because I love how it opens up from a slightly green-tinted bud to a full-blown yellow rose and smells wonderful, and Black Magic, since that's one of the deep red roses that often comes in florists bouquets, as well as Brandy (a peach color and so pretty in a vase and lasts a long time, even after fully opened.) Double Delight is amazing for it's incredible spicy scent and gorgeous color and Fragrant Plum is such a lovely shade of purple and it has a delicious scent. I try to cut my roses not just for longevity, but for amazing scents, too.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I've made a list, and I'll be looking them all up on HelpMeFind. Double Delight seems to be popping up a lot on many forums as a good all-around rose. I gave mine away since it seemed so prone to BS, constantly defoliated and meagre with blooms. Perhaps it was something I was doing wrong, and now I wish I had kept it. The other one that keeps popping up is Abe Darby. I've heard about Peace, but wondered how many blooms I can get off of one bush. Would I have to plant a few of them to cut a decent bouquet? Can anyone recommend Austin's "Queen of Sweden"?

I have both Peace and DD and love them but do keep in mind that you definitely need to spray for BS with these two as they need it all the time. But my Climbing Peace has amazing blooms - just huge and lasts a long time in the vase while DD smells so divine you just have to have it. Secret has had a good vase life for me and it's a beautiful rose with scent.

Lemon Spice and Peter Mayle are both fragrant and good for cutting.

Mister Lincoln - noted above
Queen Elizabeth - 3 ft stems are common on a well-kept bush
Brides Dream - very light pink, great stem lengths
Bewitched - best pure pink long-stemmed rose, IMHO.
Gold Medal - clustering can be an issue, but very long stems
Touch of Class - another great stem length
Fragrant Plum - clustering can be an issue, but great stem length.
Liebeszauber - super productive, most red roses suitable for cutting of any red I have.

Many others have already been mentioned ...

Veteran's Honor has the most beautiful and longest lasting blooms of any of my roses (50+). And it smells good, too! The shrub is tall and gangly unfortunately with some disease issues. To me, it is worth it though.

Braveheart is my second longest lasting cut rose. I take the blooms and float them in a red cut crystal glass. Gorgeous, but no smell. With this one I don't mind.
Good luck, CJ

Found this thread too late, I returned Gold Medal (bare-root for $10) to the store since I wasn't sure about its scent. That's OK, Crown Princess Mag and W.S. 2000 last very long in the vase, up to 5 days:
