grammatical number - Question tag for "many a ..."

Consider the sentence "Many a rose bloomed in the garden."



If you had to substitute "many a rose" with a pronoun, what would it be?



"Many a ..." takes a singular verb. Does that mean it can be substituted by the singular pronoun it?



If you had to add a question tag to "Many a rose bloomed in the garden", what would it be? Is "Many a rose bloomed in the garden, didn't it?" grammatical?
