Here are some names of roses with pictures to help you decide.
Variations in ScentThe scent of the rose depends on many things-
Fragrant Roses,(according to the rose experts), are most fragrant: on a warm still day They have a stronger scent: when the rose is 3/4 open, in early afternoon, with a high relative humidity, and temperature is above 70 degrees Wow!!! can't wait for all that to happen to smell My Roses! I just walk out to the garden, and BINGO! In warm climates, roses are most fragrant in the morning or evening. In colder climates ,roses are most fragrant in the late afternoon.
A rose fragrance can make you relive a special memory, or reconnect with a past experience. For many of us, those old fashioned roses with that exotic, enticing scent bring back wonderful childhood memories.
