Silver Jubilee™ hybrid tea rose – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting

Silver Jubilee™ offers prestige flower quality and reliable reblooming for UK growers aiming at exclusive, premium-container hybrid teas. As a pharmaROSA® NEONATAL own-root cutting it provides a stable, long-lived framework for nursery propagation beds and 5–7 litre crop programmes, with predictable tray-rooted material that integrates cleanly into planned production. The upright, medium-strong vigour, dense dark green foliage and proven exhibition pedigree support high-impact specimen and cut-flower lines, while own-root renewal capacity underpins homogeneous stands and low replacement over time. Its pastel salmon-pink colour range and high-centred form suit thematic rose gardens and curated collections, complementing UK public‑realm and retail-reseller assortments in cooler regions where winter tolerance and wind exposure are key. From year one roots through year two structural build to full ornamental value in year three, this cultivar fits professional capacity planning and long-term stock maintenance sustainability.

Usage options

Target area	Reasoning
Premium 5–7 L container production for retail/reseller channels	The strong exhibition-grade flower quality and high-centred hybrid tea form translate directly into visually convincing 5–7 L premium containers on the bench. Using bush-trained, 3–5 cane NEONATAL material supports a consistent framework that finishes evenly across batches, matching exclusive finished product positioning and retail/reseller expectations for an identifiable named cultivar. Year 1–2 development can be scheduled to release in peak garden-centre windows with stable own-root performance for nursery and retail partners.
Cut-flower and exhibition hybrid tea lines	Its solitary, XL, high-centred blooms and good reblooming align well with cut-flower and exhibition hybrid tea programmes where stem presentation and bud form dominate. NEONATAL rooted cuttings provide a uniform starting point for structured bush-training, giving predictable stem architecture for premium container routes geared towards home cutting and show use. This supports exclusive, variety-led offers where named hybrid teas enhance the perceived value for specialist rose retailers.
Thematic and collection plantings for show and reference gardens	The cultivar’s historic awards and visual distinctiveness in salmon‑pink to peach pastel tones make it suitable for named beds, commemorative plantings and curated hybrid tea collections. Own-root propagation facilitates long-term cultivar maintenance and reliable identity tracking in nursery propagation beds before containerising to 5–7 L as a premium container product. This fits thematic rose gardens and collection projects that demand continuity of stock for public-realm and show-garden suppliers.
Cool-region nursery and landscape supply	With H7 hardiness and performance down to approximately −26 °C, Silver Jubilee™ is well adapted to Scottish and northern English production where cold and wind are frequent constraints. NEONATAL own-root supply supports robust overwintering in nursery beds before potting, reducing the risk of loss and ensuring dependable volumes for premium container programmes. This addresses project specifications in cooler, exposed sites served by regional nursery networks.
Specimen feature plants for larger patio and terrace containers	The upright 100–140 cm habit and dense, glossy dark-green foliage furnish a strong vertical presence for specimen plants when grown on into 7 L and larger, including 40–50 litre terrace containers where structure and flower quality are equally important. Starting from bush-trained NEONATAL cuttings allows clean framework building and pruning control, backing an exclusive finished product concept rather than mass bedding. This supports high-ticket specimen SKUs for premium garden centres.
Colour-focused pastel assortments and coordinated ranges	The soft, pastel salmon‑pink to peach colour transitions with good colour retention lend themselves to curated pink–apricot ranges and coordinated bench displays. NEONATAL own-root propagation offers predictable uniformity of colour expression across batches, while 5–7 L premium containers present ample flower display at point of sale. This provides a reliable pastel anchor variety in exclusive ranges targeted at design-led plant retailers.
Medium-maintenance ranges with balanced disease performance	Moderate overall disease performance, with resistance to powdery mildew and moderate levels for black spot and rust, supports a “medium maintenance” positioning without overpromising low-input performance. Using own-root NEONATAL starts ensures that renewal from the base remains strong where foliage management and occasional treatments are integrated into nursery routines. This allows honest, technically framed marketing within premium container assortments for professional rose merchants.
Long-term own-root stock blocks and mother-plant beds	The combination of moderate vigour, structured upright growth and own-root form lends itself to stable stock blocks used for internal cutting supply or collection preservation. Tray-rooted NEONATAL cuttings are easy to organise into propagation beds, underpinning predictable capacity and harmonised plant structure when lifted into 5–7 L premium containers later. This suits nurseries and integrators building secure, long-lived genetic resources for wholesale propagation chains.

Colour Data and Phenology

Colour: pink

Flower Colour Description: Flower with a salmon-pink inner surface, a peach-coloured base and a slightly cream-coloured reverse, subtly bicoloured. The combination of warm pink and peach creates a soft, pastel effect.

Closed Bud: On the outer surface a deeper salmon-pink, inside a pale, silky pink shade.

Newly Opened Flower: The inner petals are a vivid, warm salmon-pink with a peach-coloured base, while the outer petals have a paler peach surface; their reverse shows a translucent, cream-toned hue.

Full Bloom: Fully open, the flower’s centre is full, a soft salmon pink with light peach‑pink transitions at the petal edges; the reverse of the outer petals gleams creamy peach, delicately marbled with pink.

Before Fading: The salmon-pink hue gradually softens to a mauve-pink and creamy apricot; the edges of the outer petals are almost pastel pink, and the underside is a light, warm apricot.

Colour Fading Description: During opening, the creamy salmon-pink gradually fades, finally leaving only a delicate pink edge; in strong sunlight it fades more quickly.

Colour Retention Level: good

Fragrance and Aroma

Fragrance Strength: mild, discreetly scented rose

Fragrance Character: delicately rose-scented, fruity character

Pollinator Attraction: The flowers are moderately attractive to pollinators, as their semi‑double form partly conceals the stamens and thus reduces pollen accessibility.

Pollinator-Friendly Rating: Its double flowers partly obscure the stamens, so it is a moderately pollinator-friendly variety.
