Nothing is quite as disappointing as visiting a florist and leaning
down to sniff a particularly attractive rose only to whiff an odor that
smells a little like sawdust and a lot like the inside of your freezer.
Some roses smell nice, and others barely have a scent. Sometimes the
fragrance can be lost when breeding roses for another purpose, and
other times, fragrance is the sole reason that a particular rose breed
exists at all. If you are looking to grow roses that smell nice, I am
going to share a list of roses that only exist to make your nose happy.
Fragrant Roses:
Fragrant Roses: Rosa 'Fragrant Cloud'
The scent is billed as "indescribable.'
Imagine your grandmother's
old vanity bureau, and now add a hint of spring.
old vanity bureau, and now add a hint of spring.
Fragrant double blooms, a whole bunch of them.
Rosa 'Lemon Zest'
Smells like spring cleaning, lemonade, and roses.
