My article on my favorite fragrant roses did not make the cut for Rose Week so I thought I would start a thread, show some of my favorites, and hope other rose lovers will join in. My roses of choice are the classic high centered hybrid teas. Many of the popular HTs were chosen for beauty with no emphasis on fragrance and so many have little or no scent. There are a number though that have nice fragrance. Here are some of my favorites. I may add more later.
Granada....For fragrance this is my favorite. I often walk by it and am struck by the wonderful scent.
Sheila's Perfume..... Aptly named. It is sometimes listed as a floribunda but acts like a tea. Richly fragrant.
New Zealand....Sweet honeysuckle perfume.
Secret.....lovely fragrance...lovely rose
Veteran's Honor....Gorgeous Red rose with fruity moderate fragrance.
Full Sail....all white sport of New Zealand. Similar sweet smell.
Memorial Day...Rich Damask fragrance
Double Delight....strong spicy scent.
Aromatherapy......great aroma
