Topic: Talk covered the science of rose scent, rose classes, colors and conditions that tend to produce more scent, why fragrance is not judged at rose show competitions, some rose scents classifications…yes, linseed oil is one of them and why so many “modern” roses have minimal scent.  The class will end with doing some smell tests on some roses in the immediate area.
