Just like taste, the sense of smell varies from person to person. Some varieties provide a fragrance that everyone may smell and others may be more subjective.
A rose will not develop its full fragrance in its first year, so patience is key! Temperature also plays a role—warmer weather allows the oils to flow, enhancing the scent.
For the best experience, try smelling your rose in the early morning or late afternoon when the oils are most concentrated.
