Hi all. Been to DA roses today and walking around the garden we saw and smelt this tree. Almost like a jasmine scent very strong. Any idea what it could be?

    Hi Debs. I think it could be Tilia tomentosa - a lime tree.

    Yes, I agree, not the common UK lime though, but the silver lime, tomentosa. The ordinary lime has almost fluffy looking flowers and is not as strongly scented.
