Still, gardeners can find extremely fragrant gems amongst these more modern hybrids. For many, locating a Damask rose is impossible. So hybrids become more plausible. A number of fragrance awards for flowers have actually been created on an international level. Roses are not surprisingly the main focus of many of these awards.
Some awards however are somewhat ambiguous.
In America the major fragrance award for roses is the Gamble Fragrance Award. In its entire existence only a handful of roses have won and it has been years since a rose has won one of its awards. Double Delight was the last to date. Double Delight is also a very easy to find rose which can be grown in a container if you haven t garden space. If you live in a very cold area, once again consider growing your hybrid roses in a container so that they can spend winter in a somewhat warmer environment than below 0 temperatures.
