It might be too new of a rose for very many people to have tried it yet. I have one coming from David Austin Roses. I also ordered THE ENDEAVOR which is very similar. Can't wait to see both of those.

I gave this Boscobel in the photo to a friend last year, but have another I'll be trying soon this year. During the weeks

the weeks I had it in a five gallon pot, I fell for this rose. Diane

I have no idea why my photo was inserted in the middle of my last sentence in my submission above. Could anyone offer a suggestion?
Boscobel, I should have mentioned, isn't a light pink. The photo is accurate as to color. Boscobel is a very vigorous bloomer, it seemed to me. Diane

Agreed, a lovely warm pink, often with a tinge of yellow at the base of the petals. The color doesn't fade with age or in the heat, blooms last a good long while and remain fresh looking. Excellent repeat, fragrant too!

Thank you all for your comments, and the picture is beautiful. Can't wait to see some on my plant :)

I think it was my favorite rose last year ! It bloomed like crazy , and was nicely fragrant too . Not sure about final size .

Why are my pics sideways ?

Yay!!! I just received this one bareroot and can't wait for it to bloom. These photos just make me more excited for it to grow!!!

These are beautiful photos! Makes me wish I would have ordered that one as well lol. Aww well, I gotta save some stuff for next year.

If mine looks that good, I'll be very happy!! That's beautiful!!

How is everyone's boscobel this year? Lilyfinch if you read this, could you please give me an update in size in our area. I planted Boscobel this year in march as a bare root, and it is my favorite. It is very small, but has been blooming since may. I would strongly recommend this rose to anyone in zone 7. You can see him at the edge of my bed here. I love this rose so much that I will move every other rose from this bed and fill it with Boscobels in the spring.

Diane, that is truly a picture and the Boscobel is so pretty, However, to me, it's the mix of colours and sizes that make this scene to beautiful. What is the large deep pink coloured rose? It looks fantastic with B.

Thank you so much vavaporvac =)

I just started gardening last year, and arranging the roses
in way that will look pleasing to the eye is my biggest challenge. I usually
feel like I just want to stuff them everywhere. That bed contains the 2
Boscobels, 2 desdemonas, and 3 dark desire (not blooming) and the large plant
in the background with the dark pink flowers is a crape myrtle tree.

Wow nanadollZ7 SWIdaho,

I can't stop looking at your pictures, they truly show how beautiful this rose is. This is one of the most gorgeous roses ever in my opinion, plus very healthy so far here in black spot land. Mine is still not making blooms as full as yours is. What is the yellow/cream rose next to it? I think they look wonderful together.

I'm a newbie, as well and agree that arranging placement is the hardest part without actually having seen mature specimens. You've exceeded my paltry skills thus far! : ) On my laptop, I can see that's a crepe myrtle. What a combo! I'm just a zone too cold to keep one reliably. : (

Diane, I'm not a big curser, but what the h@## are you using to fertilize your roses!? Seriously! In every pic, they're just the perfect specimens. I never considered this rose before, but it has all the things I love and want in a rose including fragrance.

Thank you Dianela and vaporvac. Vapor, I mainly fertilize in late winter and early spring, using Plant Tone and compost or manure. If I have the time, I may use granular organic fertilzer later on (Lilly-Miller). Thanks again, for saying all those nice things about my roses--believe me, they are not perfect! Dianela, the rose next to Boscobel is Golden Celebration, another Austin. It's a great rose, too, which I highly recommend. I think your rose bed looks great, and you've come far in a year. In zone 7, your Austin roses should grow pretty big. Diane

The above pic was last year when Bosco was smaller. GC is shown again in this pic. Diane

Oh my lord beautiful beyond words.

Incredible. Thanks for the update

We hear about what we are buying and planting so it's nice to hear how they have done after a few years .

Boscobel is a stellar rose

Diane,

I have been struggling to choose the right yellows to make a bed. After seeing your picture I am adding golden celebration to my list with molinoux, and charlotte ( hope I spelled them correctly). Thank you very much!

Dianela

Dianela, you won't be disappointed in either Molineux nor Charlotte. I have M new this year and it's one of my favourites already, blooming at a constant pace even as a young potted plant. I fell in love with Charlotte at the Columbus Park of Roses and can't understand why it's not mentioned more. I'm hoping for a yellowish bed myself someday and will also include Golden Buddha and either Stormy Weather or Dakota Redwing for contrast. It's fun planning and keeps us out of trouble, no?

wow, Diane, you are the greatest rose enabler. Wow, love those pictures!!

Thank you guys--you're too nice. I think Golden Celebration will be a great addition to your yellow roses, Dianela. This one can get big, though it might take some time. And he loves to bloom. Diane

From this season...Boscobel, who is about 4 feet tall, needs to grow a little to catch up to GC.

Ohhh my my. I am seating on my deck planning where to plant 3 Darcy B, and 3 sally Holmes, 2 darlows enigmas and 3 ketchup and mustard I found on sale at a local place today. I couldn't resist buying them even in this heat. Now I am staring at your golden celebration and can't wait to buy some too . Your roses are amazing Diane!

The Boscobel pix are gorgeous, just got this beauty today and can hardly wait to see how it performs in it's 1st season.

I love my newly blooming Boscobel this second Spring. The first year, I hated the flat coral color. This year it's pink and much better. My PAof Kent is also improved this year and pinker less coral. CC, the first year may not show you it's stuff.

Sheila do you have any pictures your PAK you can share maybe on a different thread to not mess this one up. I have seen several pictures of it and it seems so different in color every time I see her.

Thanks Sheila for letting me know about the coral changing to pink because it's very coral right now. If you show your PAK pix to dianela, would you include the Boscobel as well? Sorry to put you on the spot.

CC Stahl,

I hope Sheila rewards us with some pretty pictures of her roses. I know you didn’t ask me, but I figured I would show you the variation in color my Bosco has in case it helps. I would like to add, that it is the star of my baby garden. It opens a very deep salmon and ages to "antique/romantic" pink. The blooms last well on the plant so you end up with a beautiful color changing effect that is delicate but vibrant.

Wow dianela! Absolutely gorgeous. I fell in love with the Bos at first glance and your pix reinforce my love of this rose. How many do you have? They are heart stopping. Ty so much for the share. What do you fertilize with? I'm in awe. I'm in 7b NC.

Thank you very much CC Stahl for your kind words. I have 2 close together, and they were planted bareroot last spring. The one on the right of the picture is maybe 2 feet tall and the one on the left is smaller, because I moved her from her previous location in Mid August heat last summer. I fertilize with "Bayers All in one rose and flower care" and they also got a layer of cow manure at their base early this year. I hope you enjoy blooms soon, this one is a keeper for our zone.

Thank you dianela. They are completely mesmerizing. I think I'm going to have to get another one. I love the effect of having them side by side. Your are a great ambassador for David Austin. Your pix rival the ones in the catalogues.

dianela, I just couldn't help myself. I ordered another one. Your pix is so inspiring. First one I got potted, ordered this one as bareroot. Since they ship from Jan to May I had to jump on it quick. I was going to wait till next season but I kept looking at your beauties and got weak.

I don't have very good photos but I'll try.

This above is P A of Kent after rain.This is Boscobel. These are both improved their second year I think, from coral which I really wasn't as fond of. The plants will improve with age. This is another P A of Kent that looks more coral but all better than last year.

Thank you Shella, very beautiful garden. PAoK is so pretty and has a nice form and just lovely how you have complimented it with the other plants. The Boscobel proves to be a very photogenic rose in every pix I see of it. I appreciate you and dianela for taking the time to share your pix, I'm looking even more forward to watching the Boscobel grow after seeing these pictures. Seeing them in someone's garden is much better than a catalog. It makes it more real, plus I love seeing other people's ideas. Love your setting.

I love your PAOK, what a beautiful color

My Boscobel looks nice next to red Japanese maple.

It sure does! Loving the textures. And colors of course.
