About
Bred by Cants of Colchester (UK) in 1972 and named by breeder Roger Cant as a pet name for his wife Joey, 'Just Joey' is a World Rose Hall of Fame inductee distinguished by its extraordinarily frilled petal edges — a quality unique at its introduction and still striking today. Its large blooms, 12–14cm across, in warm apricot-orange fading to buff-copper, are among the most individual in the rose world, accompanied by a pleasing fruity to Damask fragrance. Petals have notable substance. The plant is compact at 0.8–1.2m, producing fewer canes than many hybrid teas, which makes careful attention to each shoot important. Intense heat can dilute the subtle apricot coloring; some afternoon shade in the hottest climates preserves the flower's characteristic tones.
