Boscobel/ Feeding Roses
Comments (36)I looked through the D. Austin printed catalog in front of me, out of being curious, myself. I tend to agree with the previous poster 'oddyssee3' questioning if it may be Wildeve' ? Described with a petal count of 70 (& that would be my first suggestion in helping to determine the name, apart from colors & bloom/petal shape.) The "Wildeve'' bloom described as "soft pink at first opening to reveal blush petals touched with apricot'' Size given, as attaining 3 1/2 by 3 1/2. "Boscobel" flowers are described by D.A., as having red buds that "open to rich salmon, age to a deep rich pink." 78 petals "Eglantyne' has approximately 140 petal count, stated in catalogue...Quite lovely I have "The Alnwick" & thankfully have no doubt as to being correctly identified , labeled & shipped by D. Austin. The biggest question is which one to get next!...See MoreDavid Austin - Boscobel
Comments (36)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....See MoreNew growth on Boscobel
Comments (7)I really think the rose is fine. As far as buds go there are many insects and waether conditions that can affect them at times. Once the roses have been growing for a few years you seldom notice it anymore. Good to keep a check on them thou. I have found a good cure for over worrying about them. Buy a lot more you won't have time to worry about one....See MoreTell Me About DA's Boscobel
Comments (21)Noseometer, Actually I love Bishop's Castle. The pictures of the 3 Bishop's Castles spilling over the walls on Hoover Boo's blog (A Piece of Eden) did me in lol. If anyone hasn't read this blog, you should! Totally love it! pieceofeden.blogspot.com/2017/04/springsummer-project-2017.html?m=1 I am definitely ordering Bishop's Castle. Your Boscobel colors in the second photos are so pretty! I am so excited to get this one. Karen, you are welcome! Always happy to enable lol so I am glad I started this thread. I also noticed that the stems seem to hold up the blossoms of Boscobel fairly well. No weak necks here. Makes them appear even more bowel shaped. Does anyone think Boscobel would look pretty near Peach Swirl? http://www.helpmefind.com/gardening/l.php?l=2.73905&tab=36...See Morenoseometer...(7A, SZ10, Albuquerque)
