Where did the 'most incredibly FRAGRANT...' post go?
Comments (1)It looks like they have a limit on archived postings. Let's hope someone copied it and saved it. Also, I don't think a search will help you -- some of us have complained via "contact us" link that nowadays a search of rose forum discussions only provides results from the off-topic rose conversations side....See MoreNearly lost this one: Most fragrant votes 2005-06
Comments (7)What fun to see all these! Of the new introductions, I think the hybrid rugosa 'Wild Spice' rates a mention! I once had a hedge of Rosarie de l'Hay, one of my earliest to bloom, and it also had a glorious clove-spiked fragrance. Most rugosas share a unique quality to their scent. Glad to see 'Parole' on the list--a Kordes also sold as Buxom Beauty, a rose which leaped onto my wish list the first I heard of it!...See MoreWhat are the most fragrant English roses, besides Jude?
Comments (15)I live in a much different zone than you. For me, Jude was an awful rose. Stingy with blooms and really didn't have much of a scent. I keep waiting to get a scent from Alnwick and I get nothing. It is making me wonder if I have the wrong rose. Since it is still a baby (I have only had him two years), he get a reprieve until next year. Evelyn is fabulous for scent as is Munstead Wood and Princess Alexandra of Kent. My favorite has to be Brother Cadfael. Scent to die for. Beautiful rose as well. It will make you swoon. Pretty Jessica also has a great scent. Ambridge Rose has a strong scent. I didn't particularly like it but my staff loved it....See MoreWhat are your most fragrant roses today? 2020
Comments (154)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:...See Morelovelymornings
