The answer is D, No error.
A-> Here the subject is roses because this is a compound sub example. So the main sub is the word just before the preposition in.
B-> more sweetly is correct. Here more sweetly used as an adverb of manner.
C-> those in ours is correct because that rose is plural so those and ours means smell in our garden.

We can never use comparative degrees for both the words. There's nothing like MORE SWEETER.
It's just sweeter.
It's just sweeter.

Double comparatives are not allowed.

When should we use 'than that of those in ours'?

I feel this is the right answer, (I am not a professional, this is my review).
Do the roses in your garden smell.
More sweet/sweeter (if you mention "sweeter", more doesn't suit the sentence).
Then those in ours?

More sweet or sweeter only.

More sweet, or sweeter.
'More' is already a comparative term, 'sweet' is the quality, and 'sweeter' is a comparative term of the quality sweet.
Hence, 'more sweeter' is wrong grammar.

Shouldn't it be more sweet than more sweeter.
