Jubilee Celebration rose for the Jubilee Celebration?

12 years ago

You'd a thunk they could use the rose they named for this event in the event, right?

Nope -- they used Darcy Bussell and a new one called Patience.

Jubilee Celebration is a floppy little non performer for me. Wish she was a better rose as I love her color and fragrance. Darcy B. is a much more vigorous rose. Btw...anyone have a suggestion for a JC lookalike? Smellalike?

Looks like they cared more about their color scheme than about the names.

The ones they picked to use as shrubs (Munstead Wood and Darcey Bussell) don't grow very tall--probably another factor they considered.

I think JC was for the 50th ("golden") celebration, and there was a new one for the 60th ("diamond"), 'Royal Jubilee'.

Here is a link that might be useful: the new one at DA UK

Don't feel bad, mine didn't make it either. I was told there was only a 30 day guarantee (not sure where I heard it) so I didn't call them either. I got 4 from them. Jubilee Celebration....dead as a doornail Catalina....again, dead...dead...dead Mr. Lincoln.....2 stick wonder, made it through the winter..barely, 1 bloom so far :(( and Crown Princess Marg.....doing fairly well, color me surprised. I talked to Bill Patterson ar RU about Jubilee Celebration and he said after J&P exclusive expires next year...hopefully they will have it since they are a certified Austin lisc. I have gotten to where I only order from 4 nurseries, Roses Unlimited Ashdown Roses David Austin Chamblees. I think I ordered Fishermans Friend from Pickering a couple years ago, for my son. It was an excellent rose. Mary

My second year JC has been a bit on the wimpy side since I first planted it. Little vigor, limited blooming. I had such high hopes for it and love its bloom when it does bloom, but I guess it doesn't like where it is planted. I was concerned that maybe it wasn't getting enough sun, although I think it gets about 5 hours, but Devon's experience with less sun suggests that is not the problem. Guess I'll just cross my fingers and hope that it takes off on its third year like some other roses are prone to do. I really wanted to love this rose. See how lovely she can be when she wants to: Kate

I found Christopher Marlow not terribly enthusiastic about growing last year too. I'm waiting with bated breath to see what he does this year (I'll see how he likes organic life)....he better get a shuffle on, and better have a nicer colour than he seemed to last year too, there's plenty of other contenders for his position!

I love your photos of JC and SH!! My JC is also more apricot. I like it in pink too! Mine is grafted and still remains on the smaller side. It also nods. Strawberry Hill has such a unique fragrance that I have come to love! I think it is one- and perhaps, my very favorite, rose scent now. I have a DH grafted one and an own root. It seems to do better grafted here. They are both in pots.

They probably never considered the name when they were choosing what to use. I'm sure there were certain other criteria that was more important. They made a beautiful display no matter the name!

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 :-)

JC is like a petite version of 'Abraham Darby', just without the Rust. Maybe Abe would work for you. JC works so well here because it stays small instead of being a monster.
