English rose 'Boscobel'

English Rose 'Boscobel' (Rosa 'Boscobel'). Rosa 'Boscobel', an iconic English rose by David Austin, is distinguished by its large, double, rosette-shaped flowers in a rich salmon hue, harmoniously blending shades of coral pink, apricot, and luminous peach. Its rounded, dense, bushy habit makes it an excellent choice for beds, borders, or low hedges, where it provides structure and elegance. Its repeat flowering, abundant from early summer until the first frosts, is accompanied by an intense and sophisticated fragrance with notes of myrrh, almond, and fruit.

To plant English rose 'Boscobel', choose a suitable exposure: full sun. The recommended soil is: rich, well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral. Water at the base and allow air to circulate between the branches. Remove dead parts with a clean tool, then adapt pruning to the rose group. Winter protection depends on its hardiness and the potential presence of a graft union. Water the root ball before planting and ensure water can drain after planting. During establishment, check the soil moisture by hand before watering again.

Allow a width of 1.2 m (4 ft) when planning this plant's placement in the garden. The indicated height of 1.8 m (6 ft) helps choose its position relative to neighboring plants. Maintain access to the base for weeding, checking moisture, and removing damaged parts. Combine this variety with plants that have compatible light and water needs. If you are considering a container, first ensure its volume and drainage are suitable for root development. Potted roots are more exposed to cold than those planted in the ground.
