@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.

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.
