Jim,

I find 'Fragrant Rose' to be more fragrant when it warms up a bit in the
morning but loses something later in the afternoon. And on any day above
80' it loses everything.

There is another, older, variety called 'Arctic Char' that has a similar
fragrance, perhaps even stronger. I put one stem of this variety in my
guest room one morning in a west facing window. That afternoon, after
the sun had hit it for awhile, the room was entirely perfumed, not
overwhelming, just lovely.

That I haven't yet tested; we've had precious few days _of_
80, let alone above (which is just fine by me). I'll try
sniffing on an 80+ day, if FR and the temperature permit.
