Hoya with the best fragrance
Comments (22)I live on the coast in Oregon and I was at a friends home and she had a Hoya that looked like a rope.... It was wonderful, in bloom... and big... she said she has had it for about 14 years.... I've been looking all over for one. Does anyone know where I can find some in Oregon, or do they have to be mail order? Thanks for any help.... This was my first time back on the Garden Web forums... I didn't even know they changed the name..... Faith...See Morebest fragrance
Comments (8)Here's the list that this forum began in 2004. CELESTE (Lemón 1858) CREATIVE STITCHERY - like a birthday cake DAREDEVIL Death By Chocolate an SDB carried by SnowPeak.

Comments (4)If you mean one that will win Queen of Show and Best Fragrance, you won't find it. Queen material roses are mostly non fragrant, except for Veteran's Honor who has a medium to light scent. ANd the fragrant ones don't have the form. Uncle Joe (Toro), Secret, Fragrant Cloud, and Dolly Parton are some that might get on the trophy table with an exceptional bloom and smell pretty good, but they just can't compete in form with Louise Estes, Crystalline, Gemini, Moonstone, Signature, St. Patrick and other consistant winners. Check Bob Martin's site for the statistics on winners. And grow a few of all kinds. Here is a link that might be useful: Rose Show...See MoreBest Miniature To Buy For Fragrance & Size
