| Wondered if anyone has feedback on how Austin's Boscobel is doing in the hot & humid South? I am considering it for prominent low hedge, but obviously don't want to pick a rose that doesn't do well in my climate. I am in the Southeast- Atlanta Georgia I know Austin has a list of what roses do well in each climate, but it doesn't seem to have been updated to include the new varieties yet. Also, practical experience works better for me than planting guides anyway. Thanks for any input! |

| I have had mine in the growers pot since April . I love this rose and can't wait for it to be planted ! It has not taken a break from blooming . Only this past week shown any black spot . I don't spray , and for that matter , I only used miracle grow once this summer! I've been pretty lazy . Bought a house so that's why it's not planted . It is one of my favorite of the 40 I have in pots . So so pretty ! I vote yes ! :) |

| Well, I'm not in the south but In New England we have stretches of summer weather that are hot and sweltering. This summer has been particularly hot and wet and many of my roses are balling. Bosocbel has been excellent under these conditions, never balling, holding up to the downpours, looking fine and fresh in the heatwaves. They make a great low hedge. I have mine planted close together bordering a circle garden. As for blackpot, I do spray but BS is so persistent here that the more BS prone roses reveal their tendency despite spray. Boscobel is perfectly healthy under these conditions. |
