    The short answer is: not to my knowledge. You may be aware that there's a range of rose scents. The old rose scents--Alba, which to some people smells like old lady perfume--classic Damask scent; the Gallica fragrances; then the dry, "woody" smell of Teas; the sweet smell of Chinas, often with a note of pepper; the light, sweet, floating fragrance of musk roses and some Hybrid Musks; the "green apple" scent of Wichurianas; the "myrrh" scent found in some old roses and in some of the Austin roses, which some people love and which to other people smells like dirty diapers; and the mixtures of all the above, and others.

    The thing to do, obviously, is to grow gardenia, tuberose, and jasmine in one's garden, along with roses with a range of scents. I'm all for fragrance myself.

    My favorite rose is Marie Pavie because she throws an amazing wafting musk fragrance out 20 feet, which is a rare thing in my dry climate. Usually roses smell stronger when it’s humid

    Actually Life of the Party does. I was about to shovel prove my tree rose Life of the Party (because I don't like the color) when I caught a whiff of the jasmine-scented blooms , and it got a reprieve.

    sultry_jasmine_nights (Florida 9a), how do you get you Myer Lemon tree to bloom all year long..... I can't even get mine to bloom at all....

    My ML is in the ground... has been for 5 years. Haven't had a single bloom since planting it.... other than the year I bought it, when it had blooms already on it. I had used citrus fertilizer, now I now supplement with my extra alfalfa tea and seaweed... but nothing is helping it to bloom.

    Thanks for any help.

    3 ways to get your Meyer's Lemon tree to bloom.


    1. Plant it in a pot. Something about the being in a pot encourages blooming with citrus. That's why when you go to the nursery, all the little 3 gallon citrus are blooming

    2. Buy a grafted tree (best would be a dwarfing rootstock). Myers Lemon grow almost true from seeds, so many times the nurseries sell seedlings. Commercial citrus grower always grow grafted trees because they fruit so much earlier.

    3. Wait. Eventually the tree should mature to the point that it will bloom in the ground.


    As to your smelly rose. You might like Cl Clotilde Soupert. Its smell is very strong and it kind of a mix of gardenia , tuberose or jasmine with a little scented baby powder thrown in.

    I like the climbing form because it doesn't ball as much as the shrub form.

    If one doesn't need a hardy rootstock, you can air layer a citrus branch and it will bloom right away and fruit. One of my Buddah's Hands fell over one summer and I was really busy and it had rooted itself in 3 places so I cut all them apart and stuck the rooted ends in a pot making 3 additional trees. One proceeded to bloom and grew a fruit right away lol.

    Sharon that is really strange that your ML hasn't bloomed. Mine will even bloom with fruit hanging. Is it in full sun?

    I grew them in the ground in AZ and they bloomed there too but they liked to grow a few years establishing a larger root system before fruiting alot.

    The ones I have now are in pots and grafted as we are in zone 9a here. They would prob be fine in the ground as MLs are not true lemons and are a little hardier than regular lemons.

    Sultry, I'm in 9a and the polar vortex killed my ML. I covered it but it did not make it, I think everyone I know lost theirs. I think 9a is borderline and if I get another, I would keep it in a large pot.

  • 5 years ago

    Thats really sucks. You had some very unusually cold weather. I have debated on putting mine in the ground here. I agree 9a is borderline for a lot of things. I have friends in 9b that can get away with a lot more citrus in the ground than I can here.

    We have got down to 17F in the 2009/2010 winter. It "could" happen again. It probably will a some point. If it was established and maybe covered w a heat source it might make it until mature enough.

    I am planning on moving so I am not planting mine here regardless lol.

    I keep most of my citrus in pots. I have starfruit, longan, and some other tropical fruit in big pots that are covered by the greenhouse in the winter. The more tender citrus like my key, persian, kaffir limes, & red australian fingerlimes, lemons, and Buddah's hand go in the gh too.

    I only move my blood orange & grapefruit in on the coldest nights.

    Kumquats, satsumas and some oranges can be planted in the ground here. I've seen grapefruit and a Meyer Lemon in our neighborhood -large established trees. So there must be microclimates.

    I wrapped Christmas lights all around so many plants...and we lost power for over 3 days...my 15 year Satsuma looks dead, I have rootstock coming up. Pomello is gone.


    Some parts of the city did not lose power and if they covered and provided heat, I think Satsumas would make it. After this year, anything borderline goes into pots...I cant deal with the heartache! How big of planters do you use? I need a bigger yard;)

    Cute Pofi, not exactly what you're requesting, but I think Paul Shirville has a distinct honeysuckle tone to its strong fragrance. And New Zealand has a really strong perfume fragrance that reminds me of my Pink Jasmines, which may be different from the jasmines you know.

    Pope John Paul II has a fragrance you might like. Lovely like tuberrose and gardenia. Very sweet. I remember New Zealand was said to be like honeysuckle when it came out. I remember they said a certain rose had a faint gardenia fragrance so I bought that monster and faint was the word. Hardly a whiff even on a good day and didn't make me think of gardenias either. If you like sweet and fruity try Jude the Obscure. That rose has changeable fragrance depending on weather conditions but its always incredible.

    To me myrrh is like the fragrance from paperwhite narcissus. It took me a while to appreciate it. I like to combine one myrrh rose with lots of others in a bouquet. I do love that perfume in smaller amounts like in Sharifa Asma which has sweet almond and honey and maybe peach some days and then there's a tiny bit of the myrrh to give it strength under all the fruity sweetness. That's a beautifully complex perfume. Ive never smelled any rose with the power of tuberrose or gardenia or a citrus tree in all its glory. Then again, I've never been next to a big hedge that's wafting perfume from hundreds of roses. We have mostly dry air here and you have to stick your nose in the blossom before 11 am. Later in the afternoon, the fragrance is much less.

    https://www.helpmefind.com/rose/pl.php?n=19817 Martine Guillot(White or white blend. Strong, gardenia, lilac, rose, violets fragrance. Full (26-40 petals), cupped bloom form. Blooms in flushes throughout the season). I don't have it yet, but it was highly recommended for fragrance, disease resistance and for being a good bloomer in facebook rose groups

    Jasmine, thanks for the info, now I have to find a couple Meyer Lemon trees! :-)

    "To me myrrh is like the fragrance from paperwhite narcissus."
    REALLY????
    I always thought they were referring to a spicy scent, like Old Spice cologne.
    No wonder I keep buying roses I don't like the smell of!!!!
    To me, New Zealand just smells cloying like Rose perfume. Not honeysuckle at all.

    Interesting how fragrance is so different for everyone. I love my Pink Jasmine but my hubby swears it smells like "Cat Pee" lol

  • 5 years ago

    Sultry your hubs might be smelling the indoles in the jasmine flower. It smells poopy but is considered very "sensual" and is loved by perfumers.

    گل ژولیت قیمتYes, there are roses with fragrances similar to gardenia, tuberose, or jasmine.

    Here's what I found:

    • 'Clotilde Soupert': One source mentions that this rose has a strong fragrance that is a mix of gardenia, tuberose, or jasmine, with a little scented baby powder thrown in.
    • Moonflower Fragrance: There's a "Moonflower" Eau de Parfum with notes of tuberose, jasmine, and rose, creating a creamy and romantic floral scent.
    • Other Options: Since the classic rose scent is very strong, some varieties may have similar scents to the ones you mentioned.

    It's worth noting that Tuberose flowers have a scent similar to gardenia and jasmine. Also, some sources mention that certain plants like nicotiana have a jasmine-like fragrance.گل ژولیت قیمت

    Not sure I know of roses with gardenia, jasmine & tuberrose scents. However, I have Gardenia Daffodils & Sir Winston Churchill Daffodils-They all have stong fragrance of gardenia! Yes, Gardenua daffodils-they are yummy! I have the Jasmine rose climber with a rosie scent, too. And I had tuberose last summer-pot them-they are beautiful. Try those 3 and you may have the fragrances you desire.
