You sure there is a (really) fragrant groundcover?
Many are healthy and very reblooming but I never saw one that was also fragrant.

Scardan, that is definite question. I always thought that just as there are fragrant and non-fragrant climbers and hybrid teas and floribundas that likewise there's got to be a fragrant ground cover rose.

If I were a special HMF subscriber, shelling out the bucks, perhaps I might be able to investigate this further. But HMF only allows you to make one search selection only and blanks out all the other choices.

Plus it's nice to get info from people who've actually raised ground cover roses. Anyone here?

Scardan do you raise any ground cover roses? Will they keep spreading? How far does one bush reach?

I have a few ground covers, but they are not very fragrant, some have light fragrance. If you can use a rambler type as ground cover it is easier to find one with lots of fragrance; Leontine Gervais, Wichmoss, Albertine, but then again there is the problem of repeat bloom.

There is however one exception I know of Baroque Floorshow by Harkness. Perhaps Hakness has more ground covers to choose from. In my experience are Kordes and Meilland roses usually hardier than Harkness.

"Scardan do you raise any ground cover roses? Will they keep spreading? How far does one bush reach?"

I have about a dozen groundcovers, but many are still very young (1 year or even less). They are all either knirps or Gartnerfreude. The older ones cover about 1 square meter each, at least (= 10 square feet), it's more like 1.5mq (15 = sq feet). AT least. I consider 1 square meter each to have a fast complete cover. Some can cover also 2-3 square meters (20-30 sq feet) each if you are willing to wait one year or two.
Growth is fast. These two sorts are very low, very healthy and very reblooming. Meilland has some good groundcovers that get higher (these stay under 1 feet, meilland has some reaching 2-3 feet and crawling on and on until they cover everything).

BTW: I have also fairy and satina, but they look to me more like mini-roses than real groundcovers, they are more suited for small spots, were they do well.

I only have Knirps and Immensee(Grouse). I tried to see if Knirps was fragrant and nearly fell over trying to get down there to smell it. Never did find out by I don't think so. And by the way Knirps is a very remontant rose probably the most ever blooming rose I have. Grouse is supposed to be a giant but so far it isn't. It might be fragrant but since it is only a once bloomer it is too late to check it this year. I really am in a quandry as to how to use a ground cover. Doesn't it need to be on the edge because it is low? If so how can it grow in all directions? So in the middle you won't see it? I suppose just train it in two directions!! Left and right.

Oh yes Grouse has this very tiny lovely foliage and small flowers to go with it. It looks like it might be fragrant. Oh yes as I said a once bloomer but very profuse when it does.

J&P claims that their Petal Pushers groundcover rose is fragrant (although helpmefind disagrees).

meilland claims that "Magic Meidiland" (Meibonrib) is moderately fragrant, to me it is not fragrant. But it makes hips: maybe you can trade fragrance for hips? :-)
Anyway that is an enormous rose, I mean, it will grow and grow and grow. And grow. Not very much tall, so about 3-4 feet usually, but large! I'd say that one single MM can cover about 4 square meters (43 square feet)
