Rosa 'Auscousin' - Boscobel™ Rose
Boscobel Rose is a compact deciduous shrub with glossy dark green foliage and flowers that have a complex fragrance. The abundant red buds open to delicate pink double flowers that deepen with age and flush with the weather - cooler gives deeper pink tones while warmer gives a soft apricot tint - and bloom in flushes from spring until frost. Best grown with full sun in rich and moist well-drained, lightly acidic soils. Boscobel has good disease resistance.
