Jubilee Celebration rose for the Jubilee Celebration?
Comments (7)Apparently they were some that the Queen had that she liked. Don't know how much truth there is to that. It may also have seemed like shameless marketing to use their new rose. The designer that chose the roses wasn't anything to do with DA - she requested the roses she liked. They are selling loads of Jubilee Celebration at the nursery - what is weird though is that you can't actually get Royal Jubilee yet - it is only bare roots from nov onwards. All the other new releases are available - just not that one. It is funny that they have put Jubilee Celebration on one of the beds up near the top where the newer roses are - they know how to place things for extra sales :-)...See MoreHelp me decide between Jubilee Celebration and Golden Celebration
Comments (14)These are both exceptional roses. They both have some shade tolerance, so four hours of sun might be fine. In the book "The English Roses", Mr. Austin speaks highly about both. He considers Golden Celebration, perhaps his finest rose. But if they are going in a container, yes Jubilee is the one for you. I am so surprised that in California it is staying so compact. Usually an Austin rose becomes mega here. By the way that fragrance on JC is so lemony and fresh....See MoreJubilee Celebration - 2019 - Zone 8B
Comments (2)Love your pics. She is a beauty. As for health, I'd give mine a B- or maybe even B-/C+. If the blooms weren't so lovely, I would have replaced mine sometime ago. I still sometimes think I might, but . . . . Mine has never grown taller than 2.5+ ft, and it is about 7 years old. The Austin catalog lists it as 4 ft. tall. Anybody else get one to grow that tall?

Comments (3)We have grown Jubilee Celebration at our home for around 10 years or so in central California in USDA zone 9b and Sunset Zone 14.. It was planted in an area where it got filtered sunlight for the morning hours and full sunlight for the rest of the day. This rose eventually grew to around 4.5 feet tall and around 6 to 7 feet across. Our JC filled out as it grew and assumed a dome shape at maturity. It had flowers from the top of the plant nearly all the way to the ground. It was one of the most satisfying of all the Austins to grow because of the plant form, the quick repeat, and the number of flowers produced. To top it off, it has a nice, strong fragrance. Most of the flowers tend to have shorter stems, so it is not as good as a cut flower as are other varieties. This photo was taken 5 years ago or so, so it is not as large as it was most recently. We have since moved this rose to a different location. You can see a bit of 'Lady Salisbury' (light pink in the lower right corner and Prospero (purple) in the upper right corner. I would give JB as much room as you are able, as it grows into a beautiful plant form if given adequate space....See More- 10 years ago
