Rosa 'Boscobel'

Rosa 'Boscobel', also known as 'Auscousin', is a bushy shrub rose with with red buds opening to large, salmon-pink flowers throughout summer. Blooms have a pretty myrrh fragrance with hints of elderflower, pear and almond. Rosa 'Boscobel' was named after the wood in Shropshire where King Charles II hid from Cromwell's soldiers during the Civil War.

It's ideal for growing in a mixed herbaceous border or rose bed, and thrives in rich, well-drained soil in an open, sunny site. Mulch every year with well-rotted manure or compost, and prune in February.
