Rose - Boscobel

Common Name:
Boscobel Rose

Description:
Rosa 'Boscobel' is a stunning English shrub rose developed by David Austin, known for its rich coral-pink blooms and powerful myrrh fragrance. The flowers are large, fully double, and beautifully rosetted with neatly arranged petals that deepen in colour toward the centre. Opening from rounded buds, the blooms appear in repeated flushes from late spring through to autumn, offering long-lasting colour and scent in the garden. 'Boscobel' forms a neat, upright shrub with mid-green, disease-resistant foliage and a balanced, bushy habit. Thriving in Melbourne’s climate, it performs best in full sun with rich, well-drained soil and benefits from seasonal feeding and pruning. With its warm colouring, elegant form, and strong perfume, 'Boscobel' is perfect for feature planting, borders, rose gardens, or as a fragrant specimen in a large pot.
