Featured rose
Boscobel (Auscousin)
Boscobel looks delightful in a cottage style garden with its red buds which open to beautifully formed, upward facing, coral-pink rosettes. Small petals of varying shades mingle to provide a most pleasing effect. The myrrh fragrance has delicious hints of hawthorn, elderflower, pear and almond. It forms an upright shrub and will combine well with lavender.
Create an idyllic picture book English cottage style garden by planting roses inspired by characters and landscapes from English novels, or take a step back in time with roses inspired by moments in British history.
Boscobel™ (Auscousin) English Shrub Rose has a medium-strong myrhh fragrance and coral-pink rosette blooms. It is named after Boscobel House in Shropshire, UK, built in 1632. King Charles II famously took refuge here in 1651, hiding in an oak tree after fleeing for his life following defeat during the English Civil War.
Eustacia Vye (Ausegdon) is named after the exotically beautiful yet flawed heroine in Thomas Hardy’s famous English novel ‘The Return of The Native’ set on Egdon Heath, a fictional barren moor in south western England.
