I haven't found Golden Fairytale to be as fragrant as some sites describe. Here it is a very light, but pleasant fragrance- one you have to put your nose close to the bloom to detect. It's a fantastic grower though, but may get too large for the spot you have in mind if you're looking for a mid size shrub- mine is 5-6' tall and nearly as wide in its 3rd year in my garden.

Solero is a smaller plant, but also vigorous and disease resistant. It also has a light, pleasant fragrance, but again one you have to get close to detect.

I just planted another Kordes yellow floribunda called Tupelo Honey that has a nice fragrance (not heavy, but detectable when standing nearby). It has only been in the ground a week, so I can't yet report on its growth habits, but generally I have good luck with modern Kordes roses.
