Notice

Colin Mills, compiler of the Hortus Camdenensis, died in late November 2012 after a short illness. As he always considered the Hortus his legacy, it is his family's intention to keep the site running in perpetuity. It will not, however, be updated in the near future.

Rosa ‘Marquess Boccalla’

Described as a Hybrid Perpetual in contemporary literature.  Dickerson classifies it as a Damask Perpetual.  ‘Marquess Boccalla’ has very pale, flesh-coloured flowers and a dwarf habit.  It was recommended as a continuous bloomer in The Gardeners’ Chronicle.  [Paul (1848, 1863), Gard. Chron. 1851].
