One flower fragrance that I really, really don't like is the fragrance of Paper Whites. Not sure what it is, but I just find it overwhelming. However...it does not keep me from forcing them each year (lots of them!) at Christmastime. I just love the way they look.<br />Have a wonderful week, my friend!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02574946867709812195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-83467434199192952662018-03-26T13:04:35.021-07:002018-03-26T13:04:35.021-07:00Thx, I'll follow up on your suggestions❤️Thx, I'll follow up on your suggestions❤️Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12830177691014290662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-88231300109346872852018-03-25T10:24:55.026-07:002018-03-25T10:24:55.026-07:00I have made it one of my missions to add more old ...I have made it one of my missions to add more old fragrant roses.

One book that the Toronto Botanical garden requires for its horticultural therapy training program is Horticulture as Therapy, Principles and Practice Sharon P. Simson and Martha C.

Fragrance as been part of the discussion. We are finding it needs some thought mostly along the lines of how much is too much. Thoughts?

I am actually thinking of growing them in pots to see if I can keep those pesky beetles at bay.

I would love to have an Edgeworthia chrysantha, but to the best of my knowledge, it is not hardy here.

But I agree-fragrance in the garden is the best. I remember walking near one of my flowerbeds one summer evening and catching the most delicious fragrance. I realized it was my 'Casablanca' oriental lilies, which were at least 10 feet away. As beautiful as they are, their appeal to the sense of smell is just as powerful!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-18339821039830929622018-03-23T04:35:59.554-07:002018-03-23T04:35:59.554-07:00Since we went chemical free many years ago I, like...Since we went chemical free many years ago I, like you, have an aversion to scented detergents, soaps, cleaners, etc. They are just incredibly overwhelming. We use natural cleaners and essential oils. In the garden I love thyme, lemon balm, and rosemary. We have a wonderful Edgeworthia chrysantha that fills the garden with its wonderful scent on warm winter days and then calycanthus in summer that has a wonderful orange spicy smell that waifs through the woodland garden.
