LG, there is a thread about Bess Bockstoce/Roseheart here from last year, a fairly long discussion that was pretty interesting. Last time I looked it still said on the APS Peony Database that they were one and the same. Brooks Gardens has a bit about it along with a pic of Bess Bockstoce in their blog http://www.brooksgardens.com/b... and I'm pretty sure they also said that they have both varieties, unfortunately they don't have both for sale at the same time right now! I have both of the varieties that had the name confusion, honestly can't say if either is fragrant!

I did purchase Romantic Lace fall 2014 from Hidden Springs but it didn't bloom last year. I got it specifically for the fragrance so I'm hoping it'll be nice.

I'm smelling every single variety that blooms this spring so I can contribute to this string! :Pleasant scent is subjective to a point of course but I think it'll be very interesting to hear how the different varieties perform in different areas. Isn't the scent supposed to be most distinct fairly early in the morning? That's when I'll do my sniffing..... And I'll post pics of each since I'm sure I have some that are mislabeled.
