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.

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.

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

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.
