Insights
The rose is named after Boscobel House in Shropshire (near the David Austin nursery), whose original owners, the Giffords, sheltered Charles II after the Royalist defeat at the battle of Worcester in 1651. Tradition suggests the future king hid in a nearby tree, an idea that spawned the name for numerous English pubs - The Royal Oak.
