Lori, Liebeszauber is not fragrant :(. My third HT, that I grow is Veterans Honor. I know it is usually mentioned as not fragrant, but in my garden it is very fragrant. It is also vigorous and blooms a lot. It gets BS, but still keeps going and blooming. I have it next to my deck and it perfumes the whole deck. You smelled it in my garden and said it was fragrant for you too. I actually didn't find yet a single person who said that my VH is not fragrant for their nose. Just don't expect it to be BS free. Bloom color is very close to Liebeszauber. I have them side by side and it is difficult sometimes to tell blooms apart. You have to smell them to say which is which. Olga

Thank you everyone. My luck may run out as far as it being blackspot resistant when we start getting more rainfall and we return to our typically very hot and humid summers, but lately I haven't had much problem with blackspot and recently I haven't sprayed, but that might have to change. Right now it is a good rose for me and I hope that it continues to be. It's the same with my Peace roses and possibly others too. Thank you Kate - Right now my situation is probably similar to yours. My roses aren't doing nearly as well as they did this time last year, but like you said any blooms are nice. Glad your Felicia has done well.

Those are gorgeous blooms, Mantis! My friend Jim used to have Liebeszauber(Love's Magic). But I didn't realize that this rose grows so tall. His was own-root, but he gave the rose to his Mom....My Lincolns are also of the same height, and their most beautiful blooms are always in the Spring-Early Summer and Fall in terms of the "spiral".

Well, since I exhibit, I need roses that have god strong cutting stems. These are my best; Shrubs; LD Braithwaite Munstead Wood HT's; Louise Estes Babies Blush Kardinal Let Freedom Ring Mavrik Moonstone Marlon's Day Brinessa (no longer available) Florabunda's; Hannah Gordon Shelia's Perfume These are my go to roses when I need a bouquet that doesn't look at the ground.
