I know you've posted this on the antique roses forum, but to me most modern mauve/"purple" roses have a sweet lemony smell to them (i.e. Intrigue, Melody Parfumee, etc.) I'm not sure whether the pink rose you mentioned was an OGR or an HT, but you could have a look at Perfume Delight which has a strong damask, but to me sometimes a lightly sweet lemony hit, or Tiffany which is very disease resistant and also has a noteworthy sweet fragrance. I would love to find a rose that had more pure lemon to the fragrance. I've been interested in smelling Golden Zest, but have been hesitant as Jackson & Perkins has been known to exaggerate their fragrance descriptions. ;-) FWIW-Maigold smells of orange and Jude the Obscure of grapefruit if you're interested in branching out in your fruits. :-) (There are photos and info of all these roses at helpmefind.com/roses) Good luck!

My suggestion is not an antique, it is a hybrid tea. Purple passion has an extremely strong lemon smell. It is vigorous, bs resistant and has a beautiful bush form. It is one of my favorites and one of my most fragrant roses.

Living in Australia its native habitat, Lemon Eucalyptus is actually the weakest of the lemon scented trees. There are far better varieties to try. Backhousia citriodora. Lemon Mytrle. This tree in summer permeates a lemonade aroma which is delicious. Edible flowers and leaves as well. Leptospermum Petersonii. Lemon tea tree, again edible flowers and leaves, the scent of this is so strong it actually 'blinds' mosquitos sense of smell, and masks our own BO. Acronychia acidula. Lemon Aspen, can be quite heady and again is edible this time the berries, which are slightly like lemon zest to taste. These three trees leave the old Lemon scented gum for dead fragrance wise when it comes to quality of aroma and quantity. Also there has been a fairly recent classification (possibly Eucalyptus Ollida) of a new tree here called a strawberry gum, though some people say its a corymbia not a Eucalypt. Found in the Gibraltor Ranges it gives off an extremely moreish strong strawberry scent.

With some of the potting mixes used, or if your tree was a bit root bound, it may be that while watering the tree may be wetting the surrounding soil, the root mass itself could be bone dry. Scratch away a bit of soil and have look at the root ball. It's alway a good idea to thoroughly wet any container plant before planting out - immerse the whole pot in a bucket of water and give it a bit of a soak. If you aren't on water restrictions (like us), and the root ball looks dry, perhaps you could set a hose on a very slight drip and position it close to the trunk. A couple of days of drip irrigation might revive your tree. You can also set up a temporary drip system with a plastic drink bottle. Put a small hole in the bottom, fill with water and adjust the lid so that the water drips out very slowly.
