Barbara's pasture, Irene ford, Elisabeths china, Grandmothers hat, madam anissette, Mary rose, golden celebration, angel face, and Julia child. Scentimental and duchesse de brabant have a decent fragrance also. I also have setzer noisette and have been told it has a strong musk/ floral scent but I'm not sure I can smell noisettes that well since It smells lightly to me . I also have copperopolis bar which was described as VERY fragrant, but it's a slow establishing rose that puts most of its energy into trying to bloom , so I haven't had many blooms to smell.

I have about 25 Buck roses at the moment, and a good 10 of them stand out so far as having a notable presence for me. Quite a few of them are too new to be blooming much and some have not been hardy for me, which is surprising because they were bred next door in Iowa. I'll show my favorites and comment on some of the others. I agree that Folksinger is awesome, even if the blooms to fade to cream once the summer sun gets hot. It can be a lovely soft apricot color, and it reliably bushes out well. It also survives and blooms well in my zone 4 pocket, which has only the tough survivors. Prairie Sunrise is another keeper that is usually a little more reliably apricot. It also blooms in part shade in my zone 4 pocket on the north side of my house, and it's a good bushy rebloomer. Not quite as enthusiastic a rebloom as Folksinger, but more intriguing color variations like the vivid color in the photo below. Prairie Sunset is nice but doesn't bloom as often and tends more toward hot pink with a little coral tinge. It's also not quite as double as Prairie Sunrise To round out the Prairie series of very hardy Bucks, Prairie Princess is almost always cane hardy and it is huge, flopping over a 5' fence like you can see in the photo below. Mine isn't quite a once bloomer since I get sporadic blooms a little in June and July, but the main flush is at the end of May for me. I don't find it makes as much of a statement as I'd like, since the bloom is spread out over the large bush. Still, it's a nice back of the border bush. I should try pruning it back hard after bloom and seeing if it would come back stronger like Variegata di Bologna. It's a fairly generic pink bloom that's only semidouble, so it's in the profusion of bloom that it has its impact. Of course Earth Song is fabulous when it has surviving cane, and it usually has at least some, but it doesn't come back quickly from being pruned to the ground (and mine is about 8 years old). The blooms can be huge and a vivid hot pink, and it's among the larger Buck roses at 5-6' feet. I agree that Honeysweet is a way underappreciated Buck rose and it's highly variable and intriguing in color. Not a ton of blooms at any given time - not more than 3-4 blooms at a time on a modest bush, but I find it is eyecatching in the color and presence. It's pretty hardy for me and stays compact. When it fades it gets a more generic pale pink, but the flowers tend to be huge. Winter Sunset makes a nice counterpart near Honeysweet, and it is also nicely changeable in color. It can be gold, blush apricot, coral, or pinkish, though rarely as vivid as Honeysweet can get. Here is is in an apricot sherbet mood. Paloma Blanca is a very nice double white that is also mostly cane hardy in my zone 4 pocket. It can put out nice bushy clusters and repeats reasonably well, though the edges crisp like a lot of whites do in the summer. It's one of my more reliable fully double white roses. It is definitely a pure icy white rather than mucky cream. Another that doesn't get much appreciation is Pearlie Mae. Mine chugged along for about 6 years in my zone 4 pocket, but it struggled to come back quickly enough after the winters and really prefers to be a zone 5 or better rose. The colors can be terrific with those dark reverse colors that Bucks can get. I also like that it's named for Minnie Pearl. Barn Dance has been pretty reasonably hardy in my zone 4 pocket and it's a general hot pink bloom. Not a bloom to set my heart pitter patter, but anything that will survive and bloom well in zone 4 gets a positive vote from me. I also love the color variations of Dorcas and Freckles, and both have been pretty hardy for me (Freckles even to zone 4), though I lost Dorcas through gardener error and am replacing her this year. My roses look pretty much like Beth's (well, not as good a photo as hers but that goes without saying). I wish all those lovely stippled Buck roses were hardier for me, or had more surviving cane from the winter. Several of them I've had to move into a protected zone, and the following have failed at least once to survive a zone 5 winter, though they seem to be OK this year: Gee Whiz, Malaguena, Spanish Rhapsody, and September Song. Sadly, Incredible doesn't seem to be hardy, but I'm going to try a really protected spot. I haven't been able to overwinter on several tries the following Buck roses, some of whom I've tried in zone 6 spots: El Catala, Calico Gal, Iobelle. Several weren't hardy in a standard zone 5 spot but might be OK in my protected zone 6 areas: Golden Princess, Enchanted Autumn, Serendipity, Sevilliana, Musicale, Allamande Ho, Gee Whiz. I can attest that the following Bucks aren't hardy to zone 4, but I am trying them again in a more normal zone 5 spot: Aunt Honey, Frontier Twirl, Hawkeye Belle, Mary Susan, September Song, Prairie Star, Cinnamon Spice. Country Dancer survived several years in part sun but finally faded and I haven't been excited enough about it to replace it yet - in that location it was a sparse bloomer, but it's probably not the rose's fault. Prairie Breeze didn't come back from one winter, but given the part sun spot it was in I'm not prepared to say it's not hardy for me yet in a normal reasonably sunny spot. The only Buck that I actually dislike is Mountain Music. I expected to like it from the hmf photos, but mine was a monster gangly bush that barely bloomed once in prime location with scruffy barely semidouble blooms. It was reasonably hardy, so I dug it up and moved it to a tough part shade spot where other roses wouldn't grow, so it won't bug me there. It didn't quite get shovel pruned, but it definitely got demoted. No clues about fragrance on any of these, being sadly deficient in the schnozz department myself, but I would grow Bucks for the color and bushiness rather than the scent anyway. Cynthia

BenT where would you place your Dream Time..... I see it doesn't make any of your tiers.... I am planning on getting it from your pictures alone, but so glad it is fragrant.... however, I can only hope to smell it I have Fragrant Cloud which everybody raves about and my husband loves it.... but I can't smell it.... mine or others... it won best fragrant at our rose show... but nada for me..... I also have Double Delight which I like the scent, but it is not overly strong to me.... but others who visit say WOW..... so I think there must be something wrong with my nose.... but that being said.... Neil Diamond one of my top scented roses... I have two because the first one I thought was a dud and grew backwards... now the 2nd one is doing the same.... so sad because I just love the fragrance and the rose itself but a terrible terrible bush for me... they are declining one stick wonders. Sugar Moon a WONDERFULLY powerful rose scent... but it too has problems. I have two of these bushes because one was mismarked as PJPII. This rose isn't a one cane wonder, but it does get canker easily.... I get lots of tropical winds and the canes seem damage very EASY .... other bushes of same size not so much.... but I sure love the scent. I won't remove SM because I love her scent.... and I debate on getting ND.... but you know the saying Fool Me Once... Fool Me Twice..... but maybe I am just an addict to Neils scent, because it is SO HARD to walk by him at a nursery. Sharifa Asma is my strongest scented David Austin.... I have Jude and Evelyn though neither seem to be super strong.... Outta the Blue is my strongest scented mauve. Nahema is also one of my top contenders.

Carol: The peachy rose in my bouquet is Summer Samba floribunda (fruity scent). Stehapnie: My own-root Golden Celebration smells like cupcakes from the oven, it makes my house smells like a cross between a florist shop and a bakery (YUM). One bloom perfumes the entire kitchen. Crimson glory (hybrid tea) smells good on the bush, but the scent is gone after 1 day in the vase. I prefer Firefighter's scent that lasts until petals drop. For quality of scent, I place Gruss an Teplitz's spicy scent over Firefighter. Gruss is drought tolerant & likes heat. It blooms best when the weather is over 90 F. Gruss grows wild in Pakistan's hot & dry and alkaline sandy soil (learned that from Khalid, who used to post in Organic rose forum). Gruss an Teplitz is the father of Dr.Huey-rootstock, but the blooms are much prettier with amazing spicy scent (almost as good as Barcelona): Below is Gruss an Teplitz, a 10th-year own root in my zone 5 garden:
