great smelling roses

The thread great smells got me wondering about roses and their scent. I would like to know what are your favorite roses based on their scent. For me at the top of the list is Golden Wings with its spicy ( allspice ? ) scent and all the hybrid musks which have a warm perfect rose scent. Oh yes and the smell of the wild Rosa Multiflora for those 10 wonderful days in late spring when the entire world smells of them, mmmmmmm heaven!

Coral Dawn climbing rose-it is a great light pink rose (Coral Dawn is a mis-leading name-it's definitely not coral colored at all) that has a medium sweet fragrance which carries into the air around its immediate area (unlike most roses, which make you bend down low to get a whiff of the good stuff). There'll be days that I'm working in the yard and will wonder, 'what is that great smell?' only to realize I'm working around Coral Dawn.

Double Delight for me, too. Just heavenly. Everybody should have one or twelve of them!

Second place is Belinda's dream.

Also Radox Bouquet-it was named after a potpourri company I believe.
