Jubilee Celebration

The history of my Jubilee Celebration is it came in the form of 2 in 1 rose. Say, it was budded sharing the same rootstock with another unknown hybrid which I've already cut it off. Why cut?? Well, I'm gonna tell you now. It's because the Jubilee Celebration's shoots are considered healthier than the Unknown. It stole food from the other and speed up its growth dominantly. So, it's useless to let another growing weaker. Besides, I don't like a devastatingly red colour of the other rose *whisper* Don't tell it then, hihi!

Apparently healthy shoots

Cute round shape

It  supposed to be bigger if the temperature's lower.

Its colour is getting paler and paler. Foliages are supposed to be glossy as shown in the 1st picture

At around 24-25 degree celcius, the flower last for up to 5 days. This will do a shorter period of time in rainny season.

Since the weather is getting hotter here (30 something degree C), the flower seems smaller.

Also, it shape appears less neat in hot weather. However, what remains is Christopher Malowe is still free-flowering through out the season.

Preface

At first, I plan to blog out all about planting and taking care of roses which I myself experience or from others from both domestic and international sites. To do so, I found that information is way too overloaded to carry out on my own effort, apart from the fact that I'm not yet turning pro and not least an amateur though. I'm just a practical rose grower in my perspective anyway, lol. My knowledge about roses is too little to bring about such a healthy blog. Accordingly, I changed my mind and prefer to share how well (or wicked) roses perform in my local area instead. 


Hope you enjoy my roses diary straightaway :)
