Rosa 'Boscobel'

Boscobel Rose

Rosa 'Boscobel' is a shrub rose with fully double, upward-facing coral-pink rosettes and a medium‑strong myrrh fragrance enriched with honeyed elderflower, pear, and almond tones. Flowers open from late spring and continue in generous flushes until fall, held above glossy dark green foliage that remains clean and disease-resistant throughout the season. Its compact, upright form attracts bees and butterflies to mixed borders, containers, or garden beds.

Planting & care

Roses reward a sunny, open site with at least six hours of direct light, good air movement, and well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Water deeply and less often, soaking the root zone while keeping the leaves dry, and mulch with two to three inches of compost or shredded bark held back from the canes. Feed repeat-blooming roses in early spring as growth starts and again after the first flush, then prune in late winter to remove dead or crossing canes and open the center. Shrub roses need only light thinning, keeping their natural full shape and repeat bloom.
