My home did smell nice but not from the roses, in front of each window all around the house were large Lilac bushes filled with blossoms and the air around the home and inside as well smelled like Lilacs. My Rose bushes were out back planted in rows with slab stones between them so people could come see them and snip off a few. I always had a large vase of roses and one with Lilacs in my ex's tavern and sometimes the guys would bring their wives to the house to see the flowers. Our yard sloped down to the pier and into the lake and sometimes boaters would go by and take pictures of my beautiful rose garden near the lake. [Razz]
