1) QUIETNESS Pros: tip hardiness, vigor, quartered flower form, petal count, heavy flower production and fragrance, and blackspot resistance. Cons: can ball up, very (too?) long laterals, 24"+, although they are strong, could hold petals longer but 100% heat proof blooms, no wilting or crisping. It's supposed to be a shrub, but I give it HT management. 2) SWEET FRAGRANCE Pros: large flowers, 5", that last, vigor, first to bloom in spring and last to bloom in fall, fast repeat, no bloom wilt or crisping. Cons: wrong name, little fragrance, winter protection a must, will black spot, I spray it. 3) LADY ASHE Pros: profuse blooms, high petal count, deep blooms, very long lasting, fragrant, excellent summer flower production 'til fall, tip hardy - no protection needed. Cons: will get black spot, more that you would expect in light of its other outstanding qualities. 4) JULIA CHILD Pros: vigor, heavy bloomer, no bloom crisping or wilting. Cons: black spots a little, average fragrance, winter protection needed here. 5) EVELYN Pros: high petal count, intense fragrance, large, exquisite bloom, slow to drop petals unlike so many Austins, blooming machine for me, unlike others' reports. Cons: weak, leggy stems, hanging, weak necked blooms, black spot prone, needs winter protection here.
