Today I walked into a store that had an enormous number of roses, carnations and other formerly intensely fragrant flowers. Unless you were looking at them you'd never have known they were there. On previous Mother's Days nearly my entire house would smell like a rose garden for at least a week. What happened?
Why aren't flowers fragrant anymore?
It has happened because the breeders have bred for looks, longevity and disease resistence....noone cared about the smell!!! You can still find garden roses that are fragrant, but yeah the florist versions are pretty hard to come by. Too bad, isn't it?? The same is true for many fruits and vegetables...the prime example is the Red Delicious apple...looks great, tastes like crap!!
Reply:I asked my florist that same question. she said that the are "breed" to live longer now and that killed the smell!
