Roses for Cutting & Fragrance? Bareroot Mailorder?

Hello all,
 
Thank you all for the recommendations on orange plants - I have a wealth of information to digest and incorporate into my plans.
 
I am going to increase and develop my rose cutting garden and wondered if anyone has any recommendations for roses which are good for cutting, are fragrant, have a long vase life and are relatively easy to take care of in my hot, dry, windy area? 
 
Would you recommend my purchasing roses bare root via mail-order or through a nursery?  Do you have bareroot nurseries to recommend or any nurseries in California that are a good source for fragrant cutting roses?
 
A couple of recommendations I have already gotten are America, (I never would have thought of a climber as a cutting flower) Mr. Lincoln, and,  my favorite, Apricot Nectar.
 
Thank you.
