'Golden Jubilee' rose Reviews & Comments
HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.
Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.
We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.
Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..
We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.
As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

This rose has been in constant production for a month. We’ve been having unusually warm temperatures by British standards, so that may be the reason, but I’m impressed, much more so that, judging by the canes it’s been producing, with many buds per stem, the best is yet to come. I have been puzzling over how to describe the scent, which is sweet, deep, and vaguely fermented in the best possible way, without any tart notes at all. Charles Quest Ritson describes it as fruity and musky, but I don’t get the fruity notes and am not sure I have yet figured out what the musk scent exactly is (though I occasionally use the word myself to describe scents similar to Golden Jubilee’s!)... I think I finally found a way to pin down the fragrance of this rose: years ago I grew, for a single season, philadelphus delavayi melanocalyx, or it may have been p. purpurascens (closely allied). I had to get rid of it because it grew far too fast and too large for my patio. Golden Jubilee’s scent, though less intense, shares the same quality as the distinctive fragrance of this p. delavayi/purpurascens (which, by the by, smells nothing like other mock oranges)

New basal shoots were produced during the first flush of flowers and are now starting to bloom themselves, with a large cluster of flowers at the end. The scent on these is more pronounced and has, mixed with the musk of philadelphus delavayii, a distinctive note of latex present in some other roses (such as Warrawee) and flowers (magnolia laevifolia). It smells much better than it sounds!
