In my OPINION, (which is not as experienced an opinion as most folks in here), out of all the DA roses I've smelled, the fragrance that has always stuck out to me the most was Abe Darby. My Golden Celebration wows me with its delicious citrus fragrance every spring, & it is a close second to Abe, also the newer rose "a Poets Wife" has been impressively fragrant for me this spring, but Abe is just such a strong, delicious mix of citrus and rose fragrance, it was love at first smell, in fact it is the only rose I've ever purchased based on fragrance alone. I also have Munstead Wood, Evelyn, & Young Lycidas, and although all three are beautifully fragrant, Abe is my overall favorite for fragrance.
