From the article: Top 10 Great Growing Fragrant Roses
It's getting harder and harder to find flowers with great fragrance. What plants fill your garden with perfumer? Is it an old fashioned rose or maybe a heady lavender? It seems like so many scented flowers are spring beauties, like lilac, mock orange, peonies and sweet peas, that are gone before your get your fill. What are your favorite fragrant flowers to grow? Recommend a Scented Plant
Favorite scented flower
- Lily of the Valley. Think I like that scent more than the Lilac. Hyacinths start the spring fragrances though. Love those. and the Jasmine(which I can't grow) is heavenly.

Sarccoca (Sweet Box)

Ahh, the scent of flowers...
- ANY Bourbon rose, Rugosas, some Hybrid Teas - the Llilac. Don't leave out Sweet Peas, Mock Orange Shrubs and the single delight of Honeysuckles. Plant them all!

Moon Flower
- None has mentioned the moon flower. It is heavenly. A vine that finally blooms in Aug. Flowers are huge but only last a day or two. The vine is full and the scent reminds me of gardenias.
