I'm new to gardening, and working out lots of things by trial and error.
Got a lovely mini-rose in bloom, but it doesn't compare to the fragrances
given off by a climbing variety that I also have (that recently I've need
to prune back). I live in a built up area and would like plants and
flowers that really give off a scent. I know it's a lot to do with oils,
wind and heat etc. and I'll be adding to the lavendars I've put by the
pathway next year. With the lavendars, I've been able to get the scent,
but, I do need to crouch down - the scent doesn't seem to "hang" as I walk
past.

I've got colours and design that is ever changing, but I want to add to
that with a full sensory experience, so I'm into strong, not light
fragrances.

Suggestions?
