Description
Red buds open upward into richly petaled coral-pink rosettes on Rosa Boscobel, creating repeat flushes from late spring into fall. The compact upright shrub carries glossy dark green foliage and a medium-strong myrrh fragrance with notes of hawthorn, elderflower, pear, and almond.
Use it in a sunny flowering border, cottage garden, cut-flower bed, or low informal hedge. Moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter supports steady growth. Deadhead spent blooms during the season, water deeply at the base, and keep enough space around the shrub for air circulation.
The stems carry sharp prickles, so wear gloves when pruning. Inspect new growth for aphids and watch leaves for black spot, rust, or powdery mildew even though this cultivar has shown useful disease resistance.
