I have my Boscobel growing in a container in the SF Bay Area. I think I've had it 2-3 years. The color of the blooms can be astoundingly beautiful, especially with the Spring flush. Later the blooms are here and there but the color is muddy dark pink which I don't find very appealing. The fragrance is not strong and can vary, smells the best with the Spring flush. The usual black spot shows up now and again but not too bad. I'm keeping it but it's not a great rose in my opinion a good rose never-the-less. I will say I picked a bloom from Boscobel a couple of days ago ( early November ) and it was very VERY beautiful, it was the only one on the bush. Wish they all were that gorgeous...
Many of the photos posted here are spot on and show the best coloring of Boscobel. There are a lot of truly talented photographer here, and rose growers as well!

Hello, I planted a small Cramoisi Superieur in my garden and it seems to be happy and growing. My question is about pruning? Info on this site says ' can be pruned to maintain a shorter habit ' then goes on to say
'Prune lightly or not at all'. I'm just wondering what to do about my plant since I'm pretty sure I can't let it go without pruning. it will need to be regularly pruned to keep it in bounds. Thank you

I personally prune mine back in the late winter to 3-4 feet, usually removing maybe 50% with no apparent ill-effects.

Thank you, Lee H. That is very helpful information. I will do the same with my plant.
