I was able to get a peek at what my local nursery will have next week from David Austin . Boscobel is at the top of my list , I'm so glad they have it coming so I don't have to pay shipping from da ! I want to get another rose while I'm there , and royal jubilee looks so pretty . So if you have it , do tell all about it !! And as always photos get bonus points :)

One of my favorite DA roses, it wants to be a small climber, doesnt like the heat. So i moved them around.. One i dug up and put it in a pot in the fall another I moved to a shady spot and the other two gets afternoon shade. I had started a thread last year when I got RJ and kinda kept adding to the thread on its growth through the year.

I personally love the fragrance and bloom form. Below are pictures from this year so far.

I think about 1 lb per 100 square feet. The key is to spread it out evenly in the pot and not a lot right next to the trunk. Tree spikes are not very good because the fertilizer does not spread to all the roots.Here we can use a little more fertilizer because of the heat and moisture is abundant and palms grow all yr around.I usually just spread the fertilizer evenly in the pot and don't worry to much about exacts unless the palm is showing deficiency's.

Thanks for posting additional photos, Suncoast. The second set of photos have a similar color to RJ, but you mention that your rose is thornless. I'm surprised that HMF describes RJ as thornless or nearly so. It has thorns of varying sizes. The open bloom does not have a flat rosette or button eye like your first photo, but as you describe your rose this is not representative of a typical bloom... The buds on RJ have a pointed shape to them. I took photos of foliage and thorns, the winter damaged canes give another view of the thorns:

Mme Anisette is very tall! Like 4 ft. Lots of healthy growth but no more buds since the one I had early summer. Not sure if it is midges, but it seems more like blind shoots like I had all last year. Well maybe next year will be better for this rose. Maybe it needs more sun and heat or less humidity like Cori Ann's garden?

Thank you, romogen your SoF images are beautiful. I sure hope my other one is the real thing and looks like yours. Thank you Marlorena. I'm happy to have RJ, but also really wanted SoF. Also, I planted it nexy to Rose de Rescht. I don't think those will look quite as good together. I guess I'll have to move yet another rose. Seems like I do that quite a bit. In my photos, RJ hadn't faded as much as it did in the following days. I never thought it looked bad though. I'lI have to go check the foliage on my other 2 roses from that order. Thanks again for your help, Julie

They only been in ground for a year Im on year two now and they are really taking off.. I've actually kind of neglected the ones that were in the ground because they were in the ugly part of the yard I was trying to re-develope, so i was surprised to see such big blooms.

Some more pictures from today Lily.. you can kinda see in the bush shot how the form is more of a small climber than a bush.

Justvlovely!! I'm glad the blooms are doing so well for you . Now when you say it dosnt like the heat .. will my 90 degree average summer be too much for it ? I see you are zone 9 so I imagine much warmer . What do you think ?

I have a 'Royal Jubilee' coming from DA in Texas this spring.

It is an alba hybrid, and from the look of the photos on both threads, it grows in the stately fashion of the albas.

I had two in direct sun all day and in the summer they totally shut down and did not bloom, I have moved those two to a shady spot that gets morning sun and afternoon shade. I think this might be a thirsty rose.. still too young for me to be certain. But I'm glad I got it :)
