20 of the Most Fragrant Roses

I've selected 20 of the most fragrant roses to put in your garden - renowned for their various perfumes, but also chosen for a diversity of flower colors, forms, growing habits and bloom cycle.

I mentioned I would link to the David Austin guide on rose fragrance: https://eu.davidaustinroses.com/pages/rose-fragrance-guide

There are more than a few ways gardeners can describe the scent of their rose: sweet, Damask, fruity, spicy, myrrh, citrus, tea and musk. I've given some examples for most of these. One important note: not everyone can agree about the character if the fragrance of a given rose. That's biological, I'm told, with some people being far more sensitive to some scents over others. So the real test about the "best" rose perfume is in the nose of the beholder, so to speak.
