My father grew fragrant tea and Floribunda and his all smelled wonderful. I do not know the names of most but I do remember (tea roses) Fragrant cloud, Mr. Lincoln, and Tropicana. He was very disappointed with the new varieties as they were either not fragrant or, as you have said, not pleasantly fragrant. In his last few years, he began to replace his tea roses with other types of shrubs.
It just annoys me when people compare the fragrances of orchids to the fragrance of flowers or other fragrances that they have clearly never smelled.
Oh and my new Zygopetalum are supposed to smell like hyacinths. I have some of those come up every spring and so we shall see....
