This is a very late post from last season. This year's blooms have already started!
The first summer after we moved in, our Just Joey rose was blooming very prolifically. Large apricot blooms with ruffled petals and a very nice scent - almost paeoniform.
As you can see, there's quite a bit of yellow to the flowers. However, this seems to change, maybe depending on the weather.
However the blooms are so large that they tend to droop under their own weight and do best (and last longer) if you stake each bloom.
This one again, is a slightly different shade - much more yellow.
Here is more of the colour that we have seen since then. More orangey-apricot with only a bit of yellow towards the centre.
The roses bloom so much better after we started staking each head. Very very large creamy orange blooms which open extremely full after 3-4 days and last at least a week.
These are all photos from last summer (2015/2016) - I will put up some photos from this season soon. We are getting more of the same - very large creamy orange perfumed blooms. Just Joey has been our most prolific and rewarding roses and we are enjoying having it in our garden very much.
