How to prune jubilee celebration rose

Late winter (February–March) before buds break; deadhead after each flush. Remove weak, dead, or crossing stems first. Reduce remaining canes by roughly half to an outward-facing bud. Prune central upright stems slightly harder than the arching outer stems to maintain the graceful, slightly mounded shape.

The arching habit means you can prune the upright stems harder and leave the arching outer stems slightly longer for a natural, fountain-like effect.
