Unfortunately, florist roses are short on scent. Somebody told me that scent was bred out of roses under pressure from the funeral industry because it was too overwhelming to have a lot of scent at funerals (?). The silver ones are actually lavender and often they are the most scented but I'm not sure they are offered by florists. I suggest a blend of red roses and oriental lillies. The lillies are beautifully scented. Something like this

Best Smelling Flowers
How busy are we with our everyday life that we cannot “smell the flowers” anymore. Yes, to smell the flowers is just a metaphor, but it refers to a lot of things.
For example, we walk everyday on the same streets, near the same stores and people that we forget to watch them, we forget they are there. We do this automatically, we rarely stop to think. Just make a test and see for yourself: the big white house you walk by every day, what kind of windows does it have? What colors are they, what’s the shape of it’s roof top? Does it have a chimney or not? Mmmm, you don’t know, do you?
The thing is that we get so absorbed by our little problems that we forget to stop and see the big picture. I think this really depends on the level of living of each country. For example people from a poor country think about their immediate needs, like food , having a home, having someone that takes care of them. On the other hand people from a highly developed country start thinking about the planet needs, they want to “Save the whales” and take care of the Ozone layer, the start seeing the big picture because they don’t have pressing needs to attend to.
