I love the formal Hybrid Tea Roses like ‘Just Joey‘.
Just Joey is a hybrid, bred from Fragrant Cloud and Dr A J Verhage. These parents gave the rose glossy green leaves and very fragrant, orange blooms.
Blooms arrive in flushes throughout the season each having 30 petals so they have an open appearance.

Growing Tips

• Remove old canes, dead or diseased wood and canes that cross, in spring.
• Cut back the remaining stems by about one-third or a half.
• As with all HT  roses give them a good feed in spring then every 6 weeks and mulch to keep in moisture.
• When buying a bare rooted or container plant look for at least 3 strong stems.
• Soak in water before planting.
• Just Joey may  occasional repeat flower later in the season but is a slow starter in very cold spring weather.

Description of Just Joey

• Rather a sprawling bush with grey green foliage. Grows 2’6″ tall and 2′ wide.
• Large coppery pink to orange flowers with crinkled edges.
• Just Joey is  disease-proof and undemanding, use a systemic insecticide for caterpillars & greenfly.
• The blooms make good cut flowers.
• Just Joey is stunning when several plants are grouped together
