Val, H. vitattum and its direct hybrids (usually considered heilrooms today) will have a strong scent. Lagoon has a strong scent too, at least in summer, in winter time it was something like Picasso. From the doubles, Doublet, Lady Jane and the newer one, Double Shine have a flagrance too, but I would say nothing really strong. Red Glory has a nicer scent, very floral.
