Some have more scent than others. I got a free packet of Romeo and they
smell gorgeous, but being white with blue edging they are a bit pale. My
darker ones (mixed packet) don't smell as strongly, but a mixed bunch look
lovely and scent the whole room!

Are they double flowered or variegated etc?. Our plain ones smell fine, but
a neighbour has some very fancy ones which hardly smell at all. I think the
aroma has suffered in the crossbreding for visual effect.

Swings and roundabouts methinks.

Probably not. My assistant got some seeds of old fashioned 'pre Spencer' varieties this year from a sweet pea society
and the scent is just as I remember from years ago.

If you are sniffing them in the heat of the day, that might be it. I
reckon the hot sun reduces the scent of my roses, anyway: they smell
stronger after the rain. (which is here at last! What a relief.)
