Rosa ‘Jubilee Celebration’
Named for Queen Elizabeth II's Golden Jubilee. Salmon-pink domed blooms with complex fruit and lemon fragrance. David Austin himself called it one of his finest achievements.
Introduced by David Austin (UK) in 2002 to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II's Golden Jubilee, 'Jubilee Celebration' is considered one of Austin's finest achievements. Its rich salmon-pink domed blooms, around 10cm across, display a complex fragrance blending lemon zest with a deep fruity sweetness — one of the most nuanced scents among all English Roses. Repeat-blooming performance is excellent, with flushes continuing from spring through autumn. Disease resistance is high, making it a low-maintenance choice for gardeners of all levels. The plant forms a well-rounded shrub naturally and performs well even in containers, making it suitable for terrace and balcony growing. Consistent deadheading maximizes the succession of blooms throughout the season.
