Jubilee Celebration is a magnificent rose bred by the renowned David Austin. Named in honour of Queen Elizabeth II’s Golden Jubilee, this medium-sized shrub rose is celebrated for its outstanding beauty and strong, fruity fragrance. It produces large, deep-cupped flowers in a wonderful blend of rich apricot and pink, often with a hint of gold on the reverse of the petals.
- Sunlight Requirement: This rose flourishes in full sun. It requires at least six hours of direct sunlight each day to produce its best flowers and maintain a healthy plant.
- Usage: It’s a versatile and stunning addition to any garden. Use it as a feature plant in a mixed border, plant it in a dedicated rose bed, or grow it in a large container. Its magnificent fragrance and beautiful flower form make it an excellent choice for cutting and bringing indoors.
- Care Tips:
- Watering: Water regularly, especially during hot and dry spells. Ensure the water reaches deep into the root zone. Avoid overhead watering to reduce the risk of leaf diseases.
- Soil: ‘Jubilee Celebration’ prefers rich, fertile, and well-draining soil. Improve the soil before planting by adding plenty of well-rotted compost or manure.
- Pruning: As a shrub rose, it benefits from a good prune in late winter. You can also give it a lighter trim after the first flush of flowers to encourage repeat blooming.
- Fertiliser: This rose is a heavy feeder. Apply a balanced rose fertiliser in early spring and again after the first flush of flowers to support vigorous growth and continuous blooming.
