Any changes to this long list of fragrant roses?
Comments (20)You're welcome! It's not odd that cooler zones will report more fragrance from many than warmer areas. Those in the cooler places are probably smelling them when the oils and alcohols are most volatile and smell the most. We in the warmer areas often miss out because they evaporate faster as the heat increases. Also, as aridity increases, the scents burn out faster. The various components of each rose's fragrance evaporate at different rates, so one may smell very Damask at first, quickly morphing into orris or citrus, finishing a completely different scent before losing any detectable trace for the day.

Comments (3)Here are a couple of other pics of Huntington Rose, taken recently, and the recipe for "The Huntington" 2.5 OZ Gin (preferably Hendricks, but Beefeater works too) .5 OZ Dry Vermouth 2 drops Rose Water (can buy it at Arabic market or sometimes, Whole Foods near the spices & vanilla) Place ingredients in chilled cocktail shaker with ice, give it 20 stirs. Strain into chilled martini glass. Garnish with one Rose Petal. Sit back & enjoy your roses and your cocktail!...See MoreTrue red, highly fragrant, low thorn rose that stays small?
Comments (46)Thank you, Stephanie. Mine has some thorns but not a lot. It's classified as a Bourbon some places...to me it looks like it could have tea or China in it. The stems are pretty and green, with only the oldest stems brown and woody. It does have a strong fragrance, sweet and peppery. I don't remember where I got it but I think it was from Almost Heaven Roses or from Jackie Day who was partners with Lisa at Countryside Roses. I know it wasn't from ARE. Here it is a little deeper color: see above. I have a second plant of Maggie in a different spot and it is not that big...it is maybe 5' tall and 4' wide. For fragrant red hybrid teas I think Oklahoma is my favorite. Blooms are huge, a beautiful dark red, rebloom is good and I don't think it's that prone to blackspot. Here's Griff's Red, a very healthy Buck. I find it moderately fragrant but some don't. Roses Unlimited might have that one..they have a big selection of Bucks....See MoreWhat is the most scented honeysuckle that isn't invasive?
Comments (9)Toxicity issues aside, woodbine or common honeysuckle - Lonicera periclymenum - is non-invasive and with very fragrant flowers that are especially well scented at night after a warm day. There are numerous cultivars on the market, most with multi or bi-colored flowers of pinky-purple with yellow and white - 'Serotina', 'Peaches and Cream', 'Scentsation', etc. FWIW, many plants in the garden can prove toxic to dogs, especially puppies. It is best to keep them closely supervised when outdoors until they get beyond the "puppy chews everything" stage. I've gardened all my life with dogs and with some highly toxic plants and adult dogs have never shown any interest in munching on unapproved plants. (Although I did notice my boy helping himself to low lying raspberries off the bush yesterday :-))...See Morekstrong
