Old-fashioned pinks are a favourite of mine: very easy to grow, and a
cinch to propagate. At the nursery, choose the ones with the best
scent. For properly scented roses, the main man is David Austin. Take
care when buying sweet pea seed: buy only the ones which make the
strongest claim for their scent, as simply "sweetly scented" or
something like that is often a big exaggeration.


Matucana, one of the old fashioned varieties, is excellent for scent -
available from Thompson and Morgan and, IIRC, Chiltern
