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.

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?

@Rags is right.
It should be "more sweet" rather than "more sweeter".

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

@vertika.
I'm sorry but your reason is not right "Roses is a plural form " so "Do" is right and it has nothing to do with the smell don't make logical sentence whatever is in that sentence we hav to reply accordingly.
