my suggestions:

frosty pink
supernova or temple goddess (white)
inca sun (yellow)

doubles are decidedly not floriferous for me, though my little tiara really tries :3

If you want to drive up sometime I'll share some cuttings with you this fall. Frosty pink is the very easiest. Adora blooms reliably with large blooms. Shredded White performs wonderfully in ground in full sun and I have high hopes for Naughty Nick this year. He dropped buds a lot last year but was newly planted and its as tall now as it was in October last year already. I have plenty that bloom in the garage in the winter, lol. Haven't found a good yellow. I lost my cutting of a nice yellow that I was trying to root. Charles Grimaldi does well here too. Starts off yellow then turns orange. He is one of my faves too. My other fav for the pinks is Miz Scarlett. She has lovely dark blooms and so does Mountain Magic even though mine is a midget it still blooms, lol. Need to get another one so I will have a full size tree.

Here's a photo of Lady Emma Hamilton, just fyi. However, my first pick for the combination of beauty, floriferousness and perfume may be Sharifa Asma. Her scent is just out of this world. For these traits you should also take a look at William Shakespeare 2000. Mine was nearly always in bloom and his richly crimson colored flowers are petal packed and exquisitely shaped. His scent is lovely sweet old rose. Golden Celebration and Crocus Rose are also beautiful and excellent performers. And another superb rose with stunning flower power already mentioned here is Molineux, although his blooms are not quite as beuatiful as those of the others. All of them are quite healthy.

Your Most Floriferous Heuchera?

I have an old unnamed variety that I got at a plant exchange about 15 years ago with tall pink flowers. It blooms for more than 2 months and the hummingbirds visit it regularly. It seems more popular than any of my other Heucheras with the hummingbirds (though that may be because it is more visible from the house) and blooms for longer, so though the leaves only have a slight variation in green, it's a real asset and I would never get rid of it.

Most Fragrant/Floriferous C. montana

IME, ALL montanas are pretty floriferous but the old standby montana Rubens is hard to beat for a profusion of pink flowers in spring. Hard to see any foliage when in full bloom :-) And all montanas have some scent as well, depending on siting and specific cultivar - 'Pink Perfection', 'Fragrant Spring' and 'Mayleen' are known to be nicely fragrant - but C. montana var. wilsonii is considered by many to have the most intense and carrying fragrance. Not always easy to find, however. If I was going to pick only one based on flowering AND fragrance, I'd probably go with 'Pink Perfection'.

Most floriferous gardenia?

Funny you should mention that, because First Love is exactly what I am talking about. But here's the kicker, just a few days ago, I noticed that a bud popped out on the end of one of the branches. Those gardenias sure do know when we are talking about them! lol Now really, I figure that my problem may just be that it was in the shade too much. In fact its in the shade all day long. The nodes are like 4 inches apart, way different than this 'Veitchii' I had that had a more compact form (that one recently bit the dust). I keep a lot of my plants in the shade, since it is almost desert-like environment. What bugs me is that I often go to this business building that has mature (but sickly-looking) gardenias blooming their hears off in full shade! Must be a more shade-tolerant variety. I tested out 'Veitchii' (which was growing in semi-shade) to see if it can handle the heat by placing it in full sun. One week later and the plant was toasted brown, no hope for regrowth at all.
