The new cultivar of shrub rose is a selection from a controlled and planned breeding program conducted in 1995, by the inventor located in Burnsville, Minn., U.S.A....The inventor created a new cultivar of Hybrid Rugosa rose `BOC rogosnif` designated as seedling No. CB-9505. From a planned breeding program, the cultivar was selected among seedlings derived from a cross made in Burnsville, Minn., U.S.A., in 1995. The cross was made between a Hybrid Rugosa seedling of the inventor's `BOC germ` as the female parent and a miniature rose seedling of the inventor `BOC eye` as the male parent. In 1997, the inventor identified `BOC rogosnif` as a novel rose cultivar.
