Diamond Jubilee, a Hybrid Tea, has gorgeously formed blooms of soft apricot and honey with a lovely fragrance. A perfect rose for a special gift or a great rose to pick for your vase. Lovely strong, healthy foliage. Good for cutting, bedding, in a container and for hedges.
Roses prefer a soil which has good water holding capacity but is never waterlogged. A clay loam is ideal but roses will grow in most soils. Improve light soils by digging in plenty of compost and prepare the ground by deep digging prior to planting.
Roses love lots of sun but they will be fine with some afternoon shade. Five hours of sunlight is adequate. Most roses won’t do well in a very windy position but they do need good ventilation. An overcrowded situation makes them more susceptible to disease.
