Diana,
   CITRUS: Where are you growing (what zone) that Meyer lemon and where did 
you get it from? You can propagate by cuttings but the resulting plant may 
be inferior because it will be growing on its own rootstock. Chances are 
the one you have right now is grafted. Traditionally, sturdy rootstocks 
such as sour orange and Trifoliate orange are used to support more 
desirable scions. The result is a tree that is more pest-resistant, cold 
hardier and produces better crops.
    Growing from seed is chancy because the resulting plant may not be true 
to type, especially with a Meyer, which is thought to be a cross between a 
true lemon and an orange. Seedlings also don't produce fruit for about a 
decade. (That said, I'm nevertheless growing a key lime from seed. The 
plant is about 6 inches tall.)
   ROSES: Some very fragrant selections that have passed the tough growing 
conditions of Florida:
 Double Delight (yellow/red)
 Granada, (dark pinkish/red)
 Abraham Darby (David Austin) (Apricot/pink)
 Old Blush (hot pink)
 Louis Philippe (raspberry color and scent)
 Bermuda Spice -- not sure of the name, it's also called the Bermuda 
Mystery Rose (whitish-pink).
  Angel Face (light purple) is also very fragrant, but I lost 2 to black 
spot.
