Mullard Jubilee™ hybrid tea rose – deep pink, strongly scented cut-flower classic
Colour lovers and classic rose enthusiasts will appreciate Mullard Jubilee™ for its vivid, saturated deep pink blooms and strong, lingering damask fragrance. This upright, bushy hybrid tea produces large, exhibition-style flowers on long stems for reliable cutting, while forming a shapely, glossy-leaved bush that suits front gardens and mixed borders. In typical British conditions it responds well to regular watering and copes steadily with cool, damp spells and coastal breezes when given decent soil and drainage. As an own-root plant it matures into a stable, long-lived specimen that can regenerate from the base, supporting a consistent display of XL blooms from early summer with a notably generous second flowering. In its pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL 2‑litre pot it arrives well rooted and easy to handle, so you can plant, keep the soil evenly moist, and enjoy confident establishment without complex techniques. Give it a sunny position, basic seasonal care and light pruning, and it will reward you with years of character as a feature rose, especially where you want a rose that genuinely earns its place and feels reassuringly reliable.

Usage options
Target area
Reasoning
Front garden focal point
The tall, upright habit and large, high‑centred flowers create a clearly defined focal point near the front door or along a path, bringing classic rose presence without needing a large bed, ideal when space is limited but impact matters for the beginner.
Cutting and vase use
Long, straight stems and XL, pointed buds are perfect for cutting, providing impressive, long‑lasting blooms indoors, so one or two bushes can supply regular house arrangements and gifts for the homeowner.
Small rose bed or border
Planted in groups at the recommended spacing, it forms a dense, glossy hedge‑like row with repeat blooms, giving a structured, easy‑to‑read outline that keeps smaller beds tidy and manageable for the busy.
Cottage‑style planting mixes
The rich deep pink flowers blend beautifully with perennials such as Crocosmia and compact grasses, softening boundaries and evoking traditional cottage gardens while still being straightforward to maintain for the aesthete.
Specimen in large container
Grown in a 40–50 litre pot with good drainage and regular watering, it makes a striking patio or doorstep specimen, letting you enjoy exhibition‑style blooms even where ground planting is limited for the urbanite.
Structured around‑the‑house borders
The bushy, upright framework and dense, dark foliage provide a strong backbone in narrow side borders, aligning neatly with paths and walls for a disciplined, low‑clutter look appreciated by the practical.
Long‑term feature planting
As an own‑root rose it builds a durable framework that can regenerate from the base after pruning or weather damage, supporting a long garden life and stable appearance valued by the planner.
Cooler, damp British gardens
Suited to cooler summers and regular rain, it performs reliably when given steady watering and basic care, standing up well where wind and showers are frequent but extremes are rare, offering reassurance for the cautious gardener.
Styling ideas
Porch Classic – Plant as a single specimen by the front step with lavender at its feet for scent layered from ground to eye level – ideal for house‑proud owners who want instant welcome.
Pink Border – Line a short path with three bushes underplanted with low geraniums for a formal yet friendly look – suited to those who like clear structure without fuss.
Cottage Mix – Combine with Crocosmia ‘Lucifer’ and airy grasses for hot‑cold colour contrast in a looser layout – perfect for cottage‑style enthusiasts who still want easy care.
Patio Showcase – Grow a single plant in a 50‑litre terracotta pot with trailing thyme around the rim – for balcony and terrace gardeners seeking a statement rose.
Cutting Corner – Group four or five plants in a sunny side bed, leaving space to step in and cut stems – made for those who enjoy arranging home‑grown bouquets.
Technical cultivar profile
Parameter
Data
Name and registration
Mullard Jubilee™ (registered as Mullard Jubilee, ARS exhibition name ‘Electron’), hybrid tea rose for garden and cutting use, belonging to the hybrid tea commercial group.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Samuel D. McGredy IV (Portadown, Northern Ireland) from ‘Paddy McGredy’ × ‘Prima Ballerina’; registered 1972 and introduced commercially after 1972 via international distributors.
Awards and recognition
Highly decorated show variety: RNRS Gold Medal 1969; The Hague Gold Medal 1970; Madrid Certificate 1970; Le Roeulx “Most Fragrant Rose” 1970; further recognition at Belfast trials.
Growth and structural characteristics
Upright, bushy plant 100–140 cm high and 75–105 cm wide, with dense, dark glossy foliage and strong prickling; forms a solid, shapely hybrid tea bush under standard pruning.
Flower morphology
XL, double, 26–39‑petalled, high‑centred, pointed buds carried mainly singly on stems; classic exhibition hybrid tea form with generous repeat flowering and a strong second flush.
Colour data and phenology
Deep vivid pink (RHS 57B–57C) with carmine tones in bud; colour holds well, fading slowly to softer mauve pink, more intense in cool weather and slightly paler in strong sunshine.
Fragrance and aroma
Strong, long‑lasting classic damask scent with a distinct spicy note; flowers are mainly ornamental rather than pollinator‑friendly due to densely double, high‑centred structure.
Hip characteristics
Occasional small hips, 12–18 mm, ovoid, orange‑red (RHS 40A); mainly of botanical interest, as the variety is primarily grown for blooms and fragrance rather than hip display.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Hardy to about –26 to –23 °C (RHS H7, USDA 5b); good resistance to black spot and powdery mildew, moderate rust sensitivity; prefers cooler summers with regular moisture.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in full sun with fertile, well‑drained soil; medium maintenance with some deadheading and pest checks; spacing 55–100 cm depending on use; regular watering in heat is important.
Mullard Jubilee™ offers richly coloured, strongly scented exhibition blooms on a durable own-root bush that settles in reliably for years of garden and vase use, making it a thoughtful choice for a classic, rewarding rose.
Competition and Show Awards:
Royal National Rose Society – Gold Medal (1969); The Hague International Rose Trials – Gold Medal (1970); Madrid International Rose Trials – Certificate (1970); Le Roeulx (Belgium) – 'Most Fragrant Rose' award (1970); Belfast International Rose Trials – G
Pollinator Attraction:
Its heavily double, high‑centred blooms provide limited access to the stamens, which reduces their attractiveness to pollinating insects.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Its double, high‑centred flowers are difficult for pollinators to access, so its pollinator‑friendliness is limited and it is primarily an ornamental cultivar.
Heat and Drought Tolerance Description:
Performs best in cooler climates; it may weaken in heat and during prolonged drought and requires regular watering.

Information about the videos
The video series is not a “seasonal showcase”; it illustrates the essence of pharmaROSA® own-root cultivation in a tangible way: how the plant is built up, what the root system is like and how the shoot system regenerates. The recordings were therefore made at different times and with plants at various stages of development, so mixed foliage levels and differing stages of growth may appear in the videos. They are not a ‘sample’ of the batch dispatched, but a visual explanation of how the technology works. The current condition of the rose available to order — typical for the given period and similar to what you can expect to receive in the parcel — is shown in the upper part of the product page.
