The Poet's Wife.  Mainly because of Exceptional Fragrance & Ideal for pots and containers.  If you find you really like it, would be a snap to propagate.

I almost bought Poet's Wife but I saw Charlotte and thought twice.  They both have the same growth habit.  They are both fragrant.  I think that I prefer the soft yellow of Charlotte to the strong yellow of Poets Wife and I like the huge number of petals that Charlotte.  I have a place picked out and I have time to decide.

As much moisture as you have down there, maybe the Charlotte would be more resistant to fungus problems?
