MULLARD JUBILEE™ – pink hybrid tea rose – McGredy
Bring a touch of classic rose elegance to your front garden with Mullard Jubilee, a hybrid tea bred in Northern Ireland and well suited to Ireland’s moist, cool conditions with careful attention to soil drainage. This upright, bushy rose carries large, exhibition-quality blooms in a vivid, deep pink that hold their colour well, even in changeable weather. Each XL, high‑centred flower opens slowly on long, straight stems ideal for cutting, so You can enjoy it both in the border and in a vase indoors. The fragrance is a rich, classic damask with a spicy character, strong and long‑lasting, perfect beside a path or near a favourite seating area. Own‑root plants settle gradually, forming a stable bush that matures year after year with reliable flowering and less worry about harsh winters. In the first year the plant focuses mainly on its roots, in the second on stronger shoots, and by the third it reveals its full ornamental value as a long‑lived feature in Your family garden.

Use cases
Target area
Reason
Front garden focal point
The upright, bushy growth and XL, high‑centred blooms create an immediate “proper rose” look by the front door or along a drive, giving structure and elegance without needing a large bed, ideal for a neat, welcoming entrance for the homeowner.
Cutting patch for indoor bouquets
Long, straight stems with solitary, exhibition‑style flowers make it excellent for cutting; You can harvest armfuls of classic hybrid tea blooms for vases from midsummer, extending the pleasure of Your garden indoors and rewarding those who love fresh flowers at home.
Perfumed seating area planting
Strong, long‑lasting damask‑spice fragrance is best enjoyed up close; plant near a bench, terrace or cottage path so every warm, still evening is scented, suiting those who value atmosphere and relaxation in a small, personal outdoor space.
Small rose group in a family border
In groups of 3–5, the generous repeat flowering and rich colour give the look of a mini rose garden without complex design; an easy way to create impact in an average‑sized plot for busy gardeners seeking reliable, low‑fuss summer colour.
Feature rose in mixed cottage planting
The saturated pink flowers pair beautifully with airy perennials such as Crocosmia and New Zealand flax, holding their own among seasonal colour and giving a classic cottage feel that still remains tidy and structured for the style‑conscious garden owner.
Long‑term specimen in established beds
As an own‑root, hardy hybrid tea, it builds a stable framework over the years and regenerates well from the base after pruning, making it a sound choice for gardeners planning long‑lived borders who want to avoid frequent replacement and enjoy dependable structure for years.
Sunny, well‑drained urban front gardens
Prefers a bright, open position with regular watering and benefits from thoughtful soil preparation that copes well with our often wet, compacted ground, especially where improving heavier soils to handle frequent Irish rain is important for the small‑garden beginner.
Large containers on patios or balconies
In a 40–50 litre pot with good-quality compost and steady watering, its upright habit and repeated flushes of flowers give a smart, vertical accent on terraces or balconies, where space is tight but a “proper rose” look is desired by city and courtyard garden owners.
Decorating ideas
Cottage Entrance Duo – Plant two Mullard Jubilee either side of a front path and underplant with Crocosmia ‘Lucifer’ for fiery contrast and a welcoming, fragrant entrance – ideal for cottage‑style and country home gardeners.
Romantic Cut-Flower Row – Line a sunny border with a short row of plants spaced for easy access, giving a steady supply of long‑stemmed blooms for the house – perfect for those who love arranging their own home‑grown bouquets.
Perfumed Patio Corner – Grow a single rose in a 40–50 litre terracotta pot with soft lavender and rosemary nearby to echo the scent and soften the edges – suited to balcony and small‑terrace owners wanting impact in little space.
Colour-Rich Family Border – Combine Mullard Jubilee with New Zealand flax ‘Tom Thumb’ and low summer perennials to create a structured yet lively family border – great for busy households wanting easy, long‑season colour.
Classic Specimen Feature – Give one plant pride of place in a small lawn bed or central island, where its upright form and exhibition blooms can be admired from all sides – ideal for gardeners who want a single, showpiece rose.

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”, but makes the essence of pharmaROSA® own-root production tangible: how the plant is built, what the root system is like and how the shoots renew themselves. The footage was therefore taken at different times, showing plants at different stages of development, so mixed leaf coverage or differing growth stages may appear in the videos. This is not a “sample” of the batch delivered, but an illustration of how the technology works. The current condition of the rose available to order — typical of the given period and similar to what you can expect to receive in the parcel — is shown at the top of the product page.
