Smell of the roses can go beyond the garden boundaries. So, "do the roses smell in your garden..." is wrong. The roses are in the garden. therefore, "does the roses in your garden...." is correct.

As there is a comparision in the above sentance.. so more sweetly is definitely wrong.. and hence sweeter is the right..

More sweet.
Or.
Sweeter.
It will never be 'more sweeter' in any comparision statement.

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.
