Jubilee Celebration® David Austin® English Shrub Rose
Radiant, graceful, and wonderfully fragrant, Jubilee Celebration® is one of the most admired English shrub roses from David Austin®. Introduced in 2002 to commemorate Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's Golden Jubilee, this exceptional variety is celebrated for its magnificent blooms, refined growth habit, and unforgettable fragrance.
Its large, fully double flowers are a rich coral-pink, displaying warm, luminous tones that bring elegance and sophistication to the garden. The blooms are beautifully domed and held gracefully above the foliage on gently arching stems, creating a refined, almost floating appearance that is characteristic of this remarkable rose.
Jubilee Celebration® is equally prized for its strong fruity fragrance, blending delicious notes of fresh lemon and ripe raspberry into a rich, refreshing perfume that fills the garden throughout the flowering season. Blooming repeatedly from late spring through fall, it offers a continuous succession of large, romantic flowers perfect for both the landscape and floral arrangements.
Its naturally rounded, medium-sized shrub habit makes Jubilee Celebration® an outstanding choice for mixed borders, decorative containers, and dedicated rose gardens. Combined with vigorous growth and dependable repeat flowering, it remains one of David Austin's most treasured introductions.
