Just get any David Austin. We've got a Gertrude Jekyl, Roald Dahl and Pilgrim all going great guns.

I'd have a think about the size/location/soil.
As there are lots and lots of options, I have some David Austin's and they are great, if you need pollinators not all roses attract those, so you need to check. More "primitive" flowers do, but the really complicated flower types don't.
We love fancy flowers, bees and so on don't.

Another vote for David Austin. Ours is a Malvern Hills rose.
I've never called them. But I bet they're the sort of people you can call and have a chat with and get good advice.

I want to get a rose for my wife as the garden is apparently "all fruit and veg"
Plant a few more radishes, job done

Shrub rose or a climber/rambling rose? Another vote for David Austin from me, but shrub or climber is the first big choice.

I want to get a rose for my wife as the garden is apparently "all fruit and veg" (a fair appraisal). Don't know nuthin' 'bout roses. What's good? The more flouncey the better. Options on the more non-golf-club end of the spectrum would be appreciated.
