My favorite with a rose scent, is Magnum Opus. It has 4 inch non stop blooms. I bought mine at Florida Colors, its a fast grower. Barbra

Thanks. Sounds great. For whatever reason I just don't want a grafted plant. But I'll look for it. It sounds great.

Here's a list from Plumeria Gardens

Here is a link that might be useful: What do you think of this list?

Hi rcantor! I have that same list saved to my favorites and use it as a reference all the time. But I have seen some discrepancies so I would not use one source if scent is important to you.

Right now I'm doing the same thing... going for fragrance over flower. This I'm doing for my husband. When I feel I may have the scents covered, then I will be looking for flower appeal for myself. :)

Hi Everyone,

Fragrances... Oh my!!! Here are a few of my favorites..

Princess Victoria
Vera Cruz Rose
Elizabeth Thornton Lemon Drop
APricot
Miami Rose
Henry Apples Dupree
Penang Peach
Daisy Wilcox

I kno... i have it bad... : )

Hope this helps a little!!

Remember, Fragrance can be strong or light for the different climates.. Heat, humidity play a major part in fragrance too! As well as coloration. IMO...

Take care,

Laura

What do these smell like?

Princess Victoria
Henry Apples Dupree
Daisy Wilcox

Thanks!

Princess Victoria smells like a sweet lilac or jasmine fragrance. Very fragrant to me. I love this one!

Henry Apples Dupree is another sweet fragrance. It is hard to descirbe other than..Sweet...

Daisy Wilcox has a spicy fragrance . This is one beauty!!

Here are a few pics of the above mentioned Plumeria.

Thanks! I love the photos. HAD is such an unusual shape.

One problem with that list is that it's been circulating with almost no change (except Penang Peach) since 2007.

I really need to stop reading this forum since now I'm curious about Magnum Opus, Delightful, Princess Victoria and My Valentine! :P

OK! This is officially an addiction. I've ordered a bunch and have 12 on my wish list. Time to stop! :)

Especially since I'm probably moving in 2-3 months!

Not that we need any more temptations but I wanted to share a link describing scents that I just came across today.

Here is a link that might be useful: Plumeria varieties selected for their fragrance

That's a completely different list. What a great site! 240 varieties of Plumeria alone. I'm swooning :)

Vanilla scent...Jacqueline
From Exotic Plumeria. This flower smells exactly like vanilla and as it matures it smells like a snickers bar.

Do you mean each blossom starts out vanilla and ages to snickers or as the plant matures instead of a vanilla fragrance it produces the snickers fragrance? Thanks.

Thanks purdee54, Another one to add to my "Got to Have" list. I really need the addiction hotline number. Peg

Maybe I'll have a cutting to trade you later on! The Jacqueline sounds great. Is it freely flowering? Tall/compact grower?

About Jaqueline...as the flower ages, it takes on a snickers bar smell. Very sweet carmel scent. The plant is a fairly tall and fast grower. But I am very impressed with the thickness and the sturdiness of the branches it produces. Very unplumeria like. It's a white flower, about three inches wide, with a very prominent yellow throat. First inflo this season easily produced over thirty flowers. Right now I have three more developing inflos that are much larger than the first.

Found another site with scent descriptions that I thought I'd share. :)
