Why didn't Paul's article make it? I would think that would be very important for people who are hesitant to try roses.. the scent can attract some of the most timid of people!
Almost 100% of the blue roses have a wonderful scent IMO. Melodee Parfume, BlueGirl, Singin' the Blues, AngelFace, English Perfume (*swoon!*), Poseidon, Babara Streisand, Orchid Masterpiece.. the list goes on & on & on.
Mr. Lincoln I can smell 10feet away. Same with Sheila's Perfume. But one of the absolute BEST IMHO is Honey Perfume. A Buck's rose, it has one of the headiest scents I've ever smelled. And I agree w/Zuzu & Austins.. I don't have but like 3 or 4 (Othello, Molineux, and a couple of others can't think of off the top of my head). Pat Austin I keep meaning to get because of the scent. Oshun is wonderful smelling too. Pope John Paul II, Pure Perfume, Full Sail, Memorial Day, ..
Is it just me, or does it seem that most of the reds, mauves, & whites have wonderful smells while yellows are hit & miss and oranges almost have no scent? At least very few of my oranges do...
