This spring I finally got around to ordering (bare root) rose bushes from David Austin Roses. I ordered a Boscobel and Claire Austin. The Boscobel is a a salmony-pink, and Claire Austin is white. Both are very fragrant. The last time I attempted to grow a Boscobel it didn’t survive the winter as I hadn’t planted it deep enough; I definitely did not make that mistake this time around!
They arrived just a couple of weeks ago. I soaked them in a bucket over night and planted them. They have some leafs starting to sprout up nice now. I can’t wait for them to bloom this summer and just get bigger and better over the next years!
Here are photos from David Austin’s site of these beauties.
