Many of the earliest varieties of English roses had an almost unique, spicy fragrance sometimes described as that of myrrh... Exactly how this scent occurred in our roses is something of a mystery. The only answer I can suggest is that 'Belle Isis', one of the founding parents of the English Roses, may have had among its antecedents a variety of the Ayrshire Roses called 'Ayrshire Splendens' … also known as the 'Myrrh-scented Rose' … the only rose, as far as I am aware, to have this particular fragrance. The first English Rose, 'Constance Spry' … has this scent to a marked degree.
