Comments (63)I don't have Boscobel own root (mine is grafted, too) and it shot out new basals the first two years. I didn't hard prune after that and it's just continued to bloom on these three massive basals. Maybe if I pruned more traditionally it would send more basals up. Compared to so many of the other Austins in my yard, Boscobel does not want to be a climbing rose with millions of basals. (Cough, cough, Emily Brönte, Benjamin Britton, Lady of Shalott.and so many more) I do have many own roots Austins direct from DA and all except Munstead Wood and Desdemona are HUGE in my garden. From what I've read, MW and Desdemona are known to stay more moderate sized. The other two that have stayed moderate so far are Lady Emma Hamilton and Jubilee Celebration, too....See MoreBoscobel vs. Lady of Shalott
Comments (21)I also found Boscobel to be weak, small, and a stingey bloomer. The flowers are pretty and unusual in color, but the perfume was not that stong for me either, certainly not as strong as many, many others (but that is subjective) including some older DA's like LEH. The flowers are beautiful but there were not enough of them. It was a continual victim pests of all sorts, depsite my best efforts, which was not the case for its neighbor Roald Dahl, a very healthy plant comparatively speaking that seemed to be resistant to everything and anything. My Boscobel's roses were also suspectible to rot/balling. And its leaves never seemed to stay on it, and apparently I am not alone. See also, the review and comments here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8-oAoOiHwk. LOS had better growth and was healthier, and had more blooms, very pretty, even if it is not as gorgeous or fragrant as LEH, for example (in my opinion). It was very low maintenance--no pests or disease or anything wrong--but it does tend toward long, thin, branches that don't grow up, but out....See MoreBoscobel is blooming
Comments (11)Caresmer- Yes, about 2 months but I also have 2 Austins planted the same time still waiting for the blooms. I’m working at home and have been checking on my new Austins constantly more than 3 times a day. Lol Halen- I will cut them and put them in a nice vase so I can enjoy them in the house. Thanks...See MoreHoang Ton - Zone 9a
