    I was on a tour of this plantation in, I believe 2008. It was late autumn--given my awful northern climate-conditioning, I cannot visit La any time between mid-April through mid-October. The tour guide led us into the upper back bedroom, and although I typically have allergies enough to prevent me from smelling anything but the strongest of scents--I smelled roses. Not rose perfume--I can tell the difference, the rare times my nose works at all. ROSES. The smell wasn't overpowering, but it was definite. I'm a bit shy, so I wasn't going to ask anyone else if they smelled it. I thought for sure that there was perhaps something out the window? There *was* a rose garden there, but the leaves were turning, and all the petals had dropped from the blooms. I lingered a bit longer, just--confused. The last one of the tour group out of the door, I noted--no. No bouquets, nothing I could note that would explain that most definite real rose smell--
