Fragrant Roses

Fragrance is probably the single most common trait people identify with a perfect rose. From spicy to fruity to musky, a rose's scent is hard to resist. When was the last time you didn't stop to smell the roses?

The best time to smell roses is midmorning when the sun has just reached the garden. The fragrance will be most intense when the bloom is 1/4 to 2/3 open. Some fragrant AARS winning roses are listed below.
