More information
Jude the Obscure is often mentioned alongside Golden Celebration. Its flowers are very large, rounded, and reminiscent of double tulips. The colour is a very soft yellow at the centre, paler toward the edges. The bush is strong and shows resistance to common diseases. It performs well in dry climates; in rainy weather buds may fail to open. The fragrance is very strong, with fruity notes reminiscent of guava and sweet white wine.
The flowers of Jude the Obscure have many large petals that curl toward the centre, creating a globular form. As they open slightly, the petals appear wavy. The colouring combines apricot and cream in the centre, with pale, creamy white outer petals, recalling 19th-century tea roses. Blooms appear singly and in small clusters, but rain and dew can damage them. The bush is branched and spiny, with flexible, drooping shoots and crimson young growth. The foliage shows disease resistance. Repeats bloom abundantly.
