Marilyn, Brent and Becky's Bulbs had 'Fragrant Rose' last year and I'd be
very surprised if they don't offer it again this year. Last year's price was
5 bulbs for $10, outstandingly inexpensive for such a recent introduction. It
also multiplies rapidly. You can't go wrong with this one.
Also, Linda said about 25% of the population, mostly men, cannot detect the
rose fragrance in this daffodil. When I have had a stem of this daffodil on
public display and foisted it onto people to sniff, it was mostly women who
could not detect the fragrance--nearly all men could. Linda said that's
because men won't admit they can't detect it and women are more honest!
