WaterThe English Rose, broadly known as Rosa Hyde Hall 'Ausbosky', requires thorough watering to ensure the root zone is well-moisturized. During the growing season, watering should be done about once a week, with adjustments made for rainfall and temperature conditions. It's important to provide deep watering, which typically means using about 1 to 1.5 gallons of water per plant. This encourages deep root growth. During hot, dry weeks, increase the frequency to twice a week. In the winter months, watering can be reduced, and the plant should only be watered if the soil is dry to the touch several inches down.
LightRosa Hyde Hall 'Ausbosky' thrives best in full sunlight with at least six hours of direct sun daily. This ensures healthy growth and abundant blooming throughout its growing season. The ideal spot for planting would be a location that receives morning sunlight, which helps dry dew quickly from the leaves, thus reducing the risk of disease.
TemperatureRosa Hyde Hall 'Ausbosky' performs well in a broad range of temperatures, but ideally, it flourishes when daytime temperatures are between 65°F and 75°F. Roses are hardy and can typically survive in temperatures as low as 20°F during dormancy in winter and can handle summer temperatures exceeding 90°F. However, extended periods of extreme heat can stress the plants, so providing some afternoon shade in hotter climates can be beneficial.
PruningPruning is essential for maintaining the shape and health of Rosa Hyde Hall 'Ausbosky'. Prune in late winter or early spring, just as the buds are starting to swell. Remove dead or damaged wood, thin out crowded areas to improve air circulation, and shape the plant by cutting back to outward-facing buds. Major pruning should be done annually; however, deadheading spent flowers can be done throughout the blooming season to encourage more blooms.
CleaningAs needed
SoilThe best soil mix for the English Rose 'Rosa Hyde Hall' should be rich, well-drained, and loamy with added organic matter such as compost or aged manure. The soil pH should ideally be around 6.5, slightly acidic to neutral. Mulching with organic material can help maintain soil health and moisture.
RepottingGenerally, the English Rose 'Rosa Hyde Hall' doesn't require frequent repotting as it is usually grown in the ground. If grown in pots, repotting may be necessary every 2 to 3 years in spring to replenish soil nutrients and accommodate root growth.
Humidity & MistingEnglish Rose 'Rosa Hyde Hall' is relatively adaptable to different humidity levels, but moderate ambient humidity is ideal. Avoiding excessive humidity is crucial to prevent diseases like powdery mildew or black spot.

Life cycleRosa Hyde Hall = 'Ausbosky' (PBR) (S), commonly known as an English shrub rose, begins its life as a dormant bare-root plant or potted young rose in early spring. Once planted, it breaks dormancy by sprouting new shoots and foliage, followed by the development of flower buds as temperatures rise. The plant flowers prolifically throughout late spring and summer, showing off its fragrant, creamy white blooms, which may attract pollinators and potentially set hips if not deadheaded. After its main flowering period, it may have a second, albeit less profuse, bloom period in late summer to autumn. As temperatures decrease and daylight shortens in autumn, the rose prepares for dormancy by slowing its growth and shedding leaves. Finally, in winter, the rose is generally dormant, conserving energy and awaiting the return of spring to start the cycle anew.
PropogationPropogation time
Early spring
The most popular method of propagation for the Rosa Hyde Hall, commonly known as 'Ausbosky', is through softwood cuttings. This technique is generally performed in late spring to early summer when new growth is still soft and flexible. Cuttings should be about 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 centimeters) in length and taken from the current season’s growth, ensuring at least two or three sets of leaves are present. The lower leaves should be removed, and the cut end can be dipped in rooting hormone to encourage root development. The prepared cutting is then inserted into a pot filled with moistened soil, ensuring at least one set of leaves remains above the surface. The pot is then covered with a plastic bag or placed in a propagator to maintain high humidity, and kept in a warm, indirect light location until roots have developed, which usually takes several weeks. It's essential to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during this period.
