Just what is it about a rose that makes you want to bury your nose in it? It is almost a reflex action. There aren't many other flowers that make you want to do that!
I bought a pink Queen Elizabeth floribunda rose last year to try to match the other roses that are planted in a narrow border at the front of my garden. I wanted them to look the same and think It's fortunate that I picked the right one as this one matches perfectly - think they must all be Queen Elizabeth and it does have a slight fragrance. I would like another one to replace a fuchsia that overhangs the path and I have to keep cutting back so will be visiting the garden centres again - any excuse!
I had pink roses in my wedding bouquet in 1971. I had seen a picture of "Elizabeth of Glamis" and asked the florist for those or something similar - can't remember if they were fragrant or not.

brilliant, thank you
.
I have no sense of smell what so ever, so I would never buy on smell, just looks!
I see people having to bend down to smell roses, so it can only be admired close up,but if a rose is pretty it is admired from near or afar.
Saying that, a bunch of roses keeps me on the right side of my wife !
