Whiff of roses? sign of Mary?

I sometimes catch a whiff of roses, mostly in my bedroom but sometimes other areas of the house with no explanation. is this a sign of Marian visitation or something else?

Our Lady is the Mystical Rose and so if you are receiving the scent of roses then it does relate to her in subject matter; sounds as if you are experiencing a blessing of miraculous substance. A (mystical) term which comes to mind is the garden of her Immaculate Heartā€¦ā€˜garden’, ā€˜roses’.

(My two cents).

Sounds like Phantosmia.

The smell of roses isn’t linked to Phantosmia. People who suffer from it tend to smell unpleasant odours. The only nicer aroma is of baked sweets.

I have heard that if you smell burnt toast you might be about to have a stroke.

I have also heard that if you smell roses that that could be related to Mary.

When I drive by Lee’s Famous Fried Chicken, it smells delicious!

The smell of rose is also associated with Saint Rita of Cassica due to the blooming of a rose garden in mid winter at her request and giving her the name ā€œSaint of the Impossibleā€.

Old ladies’ perfume?! Not a pleasant smell, roses.

I guess i should also mention, one of my rosaries (spelling?) smelled like roses when i opened it from its package. wondering if that was also something Mary related.

Maybe. Or the individual/company that manufactured the Rosary added a rose scent to the beads?

Hope not. that would be such a disappointment.
