Toni's right: Mister Lincoln is "one of the smelliest roses out there." It's as strong as any damask rose.

Almost all of the Austin roses have a strong fragrance, but it's usually a musky scent.

Fragrance is a subjective thing, though, and I prefer it when the rose smells less like a rose than something else. Madame Isaac Pereire and Zephirine Drouhin smell like raspberries to me, for instance, and First Kiss, which is my absolute favorite rose in terms of scent, smells like Freesias.
