First Just Joey is out:

Fave rose.

Just Joey! That's my favourite rose too! Mum used to have an extensive garden with some of my favourites (Just Joey, Peace, Black Boy, Queen Elizabeth, Blue Moon among others) but this one was my favourite for its heady fragrance.

My mum has a few roses and Just Joey is the only one she knows the name of because it's still got it's tag on it.

That's pretty. I don't have any roses at the moment, I'll live vicariously through yours. Is it scented?

[-] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Yea very strong (and nice) scent.

Has its own wiki lol.

That is glorious. Apricot coloured double bloom. (?) Does it have a nice perfume like the Peace rose?

[-] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago
