Sweeter because it is comparision and sweetly becomes adverb.

It should not be more sweeter. It should be only sweeter/more sweet.

Hi everyone.
It can be "do the roses in your garden smell sweeter than ours".
Where is the need of "than those in yours" because we are talking about roses so it is understood itself.

As per my knowledge.
Here sweet is adjective and 'more' is adverb.
According that degree for two object comparison 'sweet' become sweeter.

Here error in "sweetly" because its meaning is like "Nicely" but the sentence does not carry such meaning so we think about verb "smell" it is called Quasi-passive verb a it takes an adjective after itself so "sweeter" is appropriate.

It can't be sweeter.
Sweeter can be used when there is a comparison between two things. In this sentences fragrance of garden is comparing with all. So I think Superlative degree should be used.

More sweet is right in my opinion because smell is a verb relating to the five senses hence verb will be qualified by an adjective not by an adverb so I think ''more sweetly'' is right.
