what’s wrong with my David Austin Boscobel?

The leaves are almost always like this - but they don’t get brown patches on them - just bright green with yellow mottling. Otherwise it seems very healthy. I spray it with BioAdvanced 3in1. Is this a disease?

David Austin Backlash... Well post your FAV Austin Pic here.
Comments (146)Tess is such a good rose. It was on the bush 6 days and just kept getting poofier and poofier but held together. Its been a dry heat and in the 90's this past week plus uber smoky from the wildfires and literally 'raining' ash some days. Gotta love Tess! Some others doing well in the wicked heat TIMF Litchfield Angel Jude the Obscure...I swear I couldnt get enough pics of him the other day!! He is sooo ~Dreamy~ I'm obsessed with the way the buds look half open. I could get lost in those buds for hours!...See MoreReceived my roses from David Austin (Texas) today
Comments (45)Helen, I’m a little confused about Boscobel. When I ordered mine, I ordered it potted, because I wanted it ownroot. Now, when I go to DA’s site Boscobel says nothing about being ownroot anymore. I’m almost certain what I ordered was supposed to be ownroot. I don’t always trust myself, because my MS messes up my short term memory terribly. It’s getting later and later in the season for planting for me. If there’s a very long wait for my potted Boscobel, and the bareroots are supposed to be ownroot, I’d rather switch and take the bareroot now. I know I need to call them, but I’m wondering about them telling you Boscobel was ownroot and it appears to be grafted. I definitely want ownroot. It doesn’t really matter to me whether it’s bareroot or potted. I’m hoping you, or someone can confirm that it WAS listed as ownroot, previously. I don’t 100% trust my memory, and hate making a fool of myself(again) by insisting on something that I’m not remembering correctly. Thanks to anyone that can shed some light on this before I call DA:) Lisa...See MoreDavid Austin’s in pots
Comments (91)If you want a fluffy pink, have you considered Princess Alexandra of Kent? She's about 3.5 x 2.5 and, according to David Austin, has a "delicious fresh tea fragrance with aspects of lemon and blackcurrants." Princess Alexandra of Kent I wouldn't know since I do not grow her, but if I had any space left open, I would definitely plant her in my garden. Austin adds that she is highly fragrant and very healthy also and "ideal for pots and containers." Really BIG blooms, I'm told. Kate...See MoreBoscobel, a great David Austin rose
Comments (63)I don't have Boscobel own root (mine is grafted, too) and it shot out new basals the first two years. I didn't hard prune after that and it's just continued to bloom on these three massive basals. Maybe if I pruned more traditionally it would send more basals up. Compared to so many of the other Austins in my yard, Boscobel does not want to be a climbing rose with millions of basals. (Cough, cough, Emily Brönte, Benjamin Britton, Lady of Shalott.and so many more) I do have many own roots Austins direct from DA and all except Munstead Wood and Desdemona are HUGE in my garden. From what I've read, MW and Desdemona are known to stay more moderate sized. The other two that have stayed moderate so far are Lady Emma Hamilton and Jubilee Celebration, too....See MoreRosecestlavie
