Revered for its refined form and soft colour palette, this rose delivers exceptional blooms with a graceful presence that’s sure to draw admiration in any Toowoomba garden.
🌼 A Classic Beauty with Creamy Gold Blooms
‘Diamond Jubilee’ showcases large, high-centred blooms in a unique blend of creamy apricot-gold, softening to pale ivory at the petal edges.

With a bloom size reaching up to 12cm across, this variety makes a statement both in the garden and in floral arrangements.
🌱 Growth Habit & Foliage
This hybrid tea rose grows upright and bushy, typically reaching around 1.2m high by 0.9m wide. Its healthy, deep green foliage provides an attractive backdrop for the luminous blooms and enhances the plant’s overall vigour. With regular deadheading, ‘Diamond Jubilee’ produces flushes of blooms from spring through late autumn - perfect for Toowoomba’s long growing season.
🌿 Fragrance & Flowering
Enjoy a light to moderate sweet rose fragrance that adds sensory delight to patios, garden beds, or borders. Its repeat-flowering habit ensures a continuous supply of blooms, especially when planted in a sunny, well-drained position - ideal for the mild winters and warm summers of Toowoomba and the Darling Downs.
🌞 Ideal for Toowoomba Gardens
‘Diamond Jubilee’ thrives in full sun and is well-suited to local Toowoomba conditions, including the cooler evenings and breezy, elevated sites.
