Guys it can not be more sweeter. Because we can not use two comparative degree simultaneously. It will be either sweeter or more sweet.

'does' is plural verb and it should go with only singular subject, i.e rose. Or it should be 'does the rose in your garden smells'.

How can you use "more" as well as another comparative degree?
It would be either "more sweet" or "sweeter" (if it is a word).

"than" in a sentence used for comparision.
And for comparision we use comparitive degree.
So sweeter is more suitable.

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

When we make a comparison between two objects we use comparative form. So sweeter is the answer.

@All.
"More sweetly" can be poetic or biblical language, hence it may fit in certain contexts.
