I can't see that these have been asked here, but apologies if I have missed them.

25d Flower having a virtually unrelenting smell. Good! (5;4)

I think the second part is PONG but can't get the first answer. I think it's

-S-E-


35d Store has in frilly hydrangeas but is unable to arrange 10 in temporary quarters. (10;10)

I have the first part; second part is, I think,

C-N-O-M-N-

Any help would be appreciated.

Lastly, could someone check / correct/ parse this one?

14d Fashion merchants are those who show promise. (That's what I'm using as the clue) -O-T-M-R- Is it COSTUMERS And, if so, how does that work?

Thanks, all.

Costumers are fashion merchants. Comers -those who show promise, with the STU inside.

Don't know why it didn't come up as I put it all in

I think I've completed it now. Was helpful being able to come here - thanks.
have you got 25d then? I was looking for a river called something pong but could only find one that was 4.4
25d .. smell. Good!

g(ood) preceded by PON (themed)
The theme would have been a great help for those without the puzzle.

Special instructions: Each clue leads to two solutions, one or both of which contain a trio (or in two cases a quartet) of successive letters of the alphabet, appearing either forwards or backwards. In one case, these letters involve the beginning and end of the alphabet; in another, the letters to be included are a mix of three successive letters. These groups of three or four letters are to be included in the full version of the solution to be entered in the grid, but are omitted from the wordplay in the clues.
As I was on my holidays having a great time, I took one look at the instructions and stuck in a file marked 'When I have nothing better to do' lol.
