I had to go to a nursery during the rose blooming season to'smell the roses'. It was the moly way, I could understand what the catalog defines as spicy, fragrant etc. a lot of the new roses do not have a scent.

Stinky rose gets used in rose water and other oils end scents. I think I'd wanna visit your local arboratum and be a pest/
In that the arboratum both knows which rose to use and who sells them...

By report (meaning I never done it) Rose propagate fairly easily. There is no time like soonish to get your mum out in the rose bushes and to get her to practice propagation.
You plant 'em, an' she can propagate them...
FWIW I'm thinking you are running near to wading in at your local arboratum.
As soon as your going shopping for a "certain" kinda plant, like a scented rose. You are treading hard past what the average Public Works worker is gonna know.

Dunno how I missed this...
Big old smelly roses? DAMASK
The strongest scented ones I have met thus far are Kazanlak and Autumn Damask. There is in fact very little difference between the two on the surface, though if you tried rendering the attar there might be, I dunno.
When my Autumn Damask is in full swing you can smell it for blocks. It attracts almost as many little old ladies and rose lovers as it does pollinators. A little research and you will find that it goes by different names hither and yon, and it is theorized that it might be THE old rose from which the others have sprung. It is also the ancestor of all the repeat bloomers, After it's main flush in June it blooms sporadically the rest of the season with a much smaller flush in the autumn. It does have just vicious thorns on it, I have been told that that is the main way you can tell it from a Kazanlak. The Kazanlak allegedly has smaller and more closely spaced thorns. You wouldn't know it from the one I met, but there you go. Kazanlaks are the main Bulgarian attar rose. The ones that are where most of the real rose scent used by the perfume industry comes from.
