This matches the rose I am trying to ID. My parents had several in their yard, I have pictures also.
My question - Is this rose pleasantly scented? The ones I have smell wonderful.

Hi. My experience is that it has minimal scent. It is a floribunda if that helps. If you have a picture of the rose you are trying to identify, I can try to help

Under the right conditions, Sheila's Perfume is highly scented. Scent is created by oils and alcohols. If the conditions either prevent them from being expressed, or cause them to all volatilize too quickly or blow away quickly, you may not perceive them. Cutting buds prior to their fully opening and allowing them to mature indoors in water should help you to smell them. Gene Boerner, the breeder for Jackson & Perkins for many years, checked scent by placing a bloom under his hat where it was humid and warm, two conditions which help scent to express itself.

Thank you Kim and also Patti. It is indeed Sheila's Perfume. Here in my garden it does smell wonderful. I have been working a lot trying to save some more roses from my parents old home. No water, and it is very dry there.

I note that your listing for Daybreaker says it is a hybrid Tea. It is a floribunda.
thanks so much.

Patti ...
Do you have a REFERENCE stating that the class should be a floribunda ? Both of the REFERENCES on the rose page give hybrid tea as the class.

Dear Lyn and Patti
There is probably a bit of confusion over two similar sounding roses:
'Daybreaker' FRYcalm. HT. 1998 Fryer.
'Day Breaker'. FRYcentury. flori. 2003. Fryer.

Patti...
There are four different ways to search for a rose in the HMF database. When you go to the SEARCH page, click the down arrow and you can choose to do your search with BEGINS WITH, CONTAINS or ENDS WITH. Having the flexibility to do four different kinds of database searches makes it possible to find the rose you are seeking when they have similar names like 'Daybreaker' vs 'Day Breaker'.
Smiles,
Lyn
