Here are the David Austin roses, in containers, on the deck now.
Boscobel. It does have that spicy myrrh fragrence.
Darcy Bussell. I'm not noticing much fragrance yet. Fragrance can vary a lot by time of day, warmth, etc so I won't give up from this first try.
I forgot to photograph "Bring Me Sunshine". It's a little behind the other two. It recovered fully from the initial loss of too-tender, weak growth (warehouse and shipping) that got blasted by the early hot spell. Will post later.
Here's a mixed bouquet, David Austin roses and others.
Earlier, I posted I thought the red rose was Climbing Mr. Lincoln but in retrospect, it might be Don Juan. The pink is Scepter'd Isle - strong myrrh fragrance. The yellow is Vanessa Bell - good spicy tea fragrance. The purple is Midnight Blue, a shrub rose with small flowers, strong clove fragrance. The sort of pale apricot color is Tamara (I think), mild fragrance. The white is John F Kennedy, no fragrance. The splashy mixed color flower is the climber Tropical Lightening. Last week I couldn't smell it, but today it's a classic tea rose fragrance.
Edit: Here is the "Give Me Sunshine" David Austin Rose plant, between the others.
