According to the David Austin Site:

This is a particularly interesting rose in that it is the first in the English Old Rose group which has apricot flowers. These are large, about 4″ across, and of a beautiful shade of rich pure apricot that pales towards the outside of the bloom. They are of a rosette shape and very full petalled with a large button eye that gradually opens up; the petals loosely arranged in a quartered formation. There is a particularly lovely and strong tea fragrance which has hints of cedar wood and vanilla.

According to the David Austin Site:

One of the most fragrant of all English Roses. Its strong, warm, intensely floral fragrance is in the myrrh family and has hints of apricot. The plump buds, with attractive flashes of red, open to form beautifully rounded, chalice-shaped blooms of soft apricot, which eventually pale to cream.

According to the David Austin Site:

A beautiful variety with Old Rose charm. The blooms are shallowly cupped at first, gradually reflexing to form loose rosettes which are produced almost continuously. Its color is the most delicate blush pink, paling almost to white at the outer edges. The growth is upright and comparatively short, making this rose ideal for small gardens. It has good winter hardiness. The blooms have a distinctive, very beautiful and strong fragrance, with fruity notes reminiscent of white grapes and mulberry.

According to the David Austin Site:

The flowers commence as charming pale, peachy pink buds, which gradually open to form neatly cupped, creamy apricot rosettes. Each bloom has a perfect ring of waxy petals enclosing numerous smaller petals. Eventually the petals turn back to form a large, domed, creamy white flower. The overall effect of the massed blooms in sunshine is almost pure white. The fragrance is generally light but has strong elements of clove at one stage.

Named to celebrate an 8th century sculptured limestone panel, which was discovered at Lichfield Cathedral in Staffordshire during an archaeological excavation of the nave. The panel, thought to represent the Archangel Gabriel, is in remarkable condition and still bears the remnants of Saxon paint.

According to the David Austin Site:

‘Boscobel’ bears beautiful, salmon pink, upward-facing blooms, held on strong stems. They commence as red buds which open at first to pretty cups, gradually developing into classic rosettes. The numerous small petals are of varying shades, mingling to provide a most pleasing effect. The delightful, medium-strong myrrh fragrance has a hawthorn character with hints of elderflower, pear and almond.
