Yes it do open wide. I missed taking a pic of it competely open because of the rain. But I have more buds out there and will click them to show the stages for you. As for the scent.... LOL This was the only one that has made it to full bloom to be dead headed(today). It started off behind my other roses. It had one of the first buds but the stupid Black Spotted Cucumber Beetles got to it and ate to a nub. Then it bloomed two more buds that bearly opened before the high winds took them off. The reason this one survived is because my wisteria has grown enough to protect the roses for the most part from the winds coming in from the west. Its the winds from the east that I have to worry about now! 
Ill sniff it for you when the next one opens and let you know.

hee hee hee... ok. Thanks for your info and ...get that little sniffer ready.
I think that just saying that you need to sniff it already tells me that the rose doesn't have a "strong" scent. Having said that, sometimes it's the delicate smells that are then most charming.

Well it sits right next to my Blue Girl which has a strong scent. But with my Chrysler Imperial and the red climber blooming in the garden, I cant smell any of them when the wind blows except for those two. LOL It just hasnt gotten that far yet! Its full of buds so Ill be able to tell you soon! Also Ill get out there tomorrow (if it doesnt rain) to get a pic of the prettiest bud for you. They are orange! Pretty.

Hot Cocoa is my current favorite, it's a floribunda:
Other favorites:
Queen Elizabeth Grandiflora
Peace Hybrid Tea
Chicago Peace Hybrid Tea
The Fairy Minirose
Green Ice
I've got a lot of roses I like, but don't know the variety, as some were here before I purchased the house, and some I've either forgot and/or lost the tags. If I posted them here, might you be able to give me some guesses?

Well, Pinki, you sure do have some roses!
Sorry I haven't answered you sooner. I've had a tremendous amount of work to do in the lottie and with my website...sort of exhausting sometimes. Having said that, I'm wondering if you have had a chance to use your olfactory facilities yet. heh heh...They're still in bud, I reckon. Well... keep me posted, ok?

My favorite rose is Joseph's Coat. It's like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get. DR

Has to be simple white roses, they seem so graceful.
