Ray_Gun, I'd like to know more about Earth Angel's fragrance, so please give an update after it blooms.
I agree Mr. Lincoln is a superb rose with a superb fragrance. I have two Mr. Lincolns, one is a standard, and a bush in my cutting garden. Oklahoma is also wonderful--even slightly more fragrant, imo. A darker red, the the rose is a bit more cup-shaped. Papa Meilland is another red rose I love with more of an old rose fragrance, although to my husband, it has no scent at all And then there's Chrysler Imperial, another red rose I enjoy.
So like Jerijen said on another thread in relation to fragrance, it can be a very individual thing. And then there's temperature, time of day, etc., so the same roses may not be as fragrant depending on time of day or weather.
Sheer Bliss is one of my most fragrant HT's. but it's not a fragrance I always enjoy when it's buds are opening, at it's strongest. It's almost medicinal-like, although others in my family love it.
