Carol, this morning Intrigue was fragrant....and I didn't like it. My Sunset book on roses says that Intrigue has a strong citrus smell. What it reminded me of, is my other strongly smelling rose that I don't care for...Sheer Bliss. I think I remember you saying you didn't like the fragrance of one of your roses and you got rid of it, but I don't remember the name of it. I love the blooms (color/shape) of both Intrigue and Sheer Bliss, though.
This afternoon, I decided to visit a couple of rose nurseries in the area, and one rose stood out for me today, both in my own garden this morning and in both of these nurseries, consistently smelling the most fragrant---Chrysler Imperial! Today was very hot...my thermometer in the shade reads 100 F. The other one standing out in the first nursery was Elizabeth Taylor., and in the second one, Grande Dame.
Both had a half dozen different Austins, but none mentioned specifically in this thread that I can recall. Tess d'Ubervilles was the only one with a noticeable scent of the ones with blooms, one that I wasn't familiar with, kind of spicy.
