I ordered Just Joey because of the wonderful color. When it bloomed the next year it came out this yellow color. I bought another one thinking the first one was mislabeled.
When the second one bloomed it had the same yellow bloom. I dug up the younger one and gave to a friend. It is growing beautifully two years later with the wonderful copper color. I have since found out that Just Joey can look very different depending on the growing conditions.
I do love my Just Joey even if it is yellow.

One of my favorite roses, and I nearly lost it due to extreme summer heat. I deep watered it several times and put up an umbrella to provide some mid-afternoon shade. It is slowly coming back, but certainly dislikes full, hot sun.

I have had this for several years. It continues to hang on although I have never found it to do well in my garden. It grows quite tall, but with mostly one main new stem. I prune it back each spring to good leaf buds and cut out the older wood, but it still doesn't want to grow more stems for me. The flowers open to a very large, loosely petalled bloom, which is spectacular and heavily scented. The scent was the reason I bought it in the first place when I saw it at my local garden centre. As I have other plants around it, I am happy to enjoy the few flowers it presents me with. My garden doesn't get enough sun for some roses and my soil is very sandy. Although I mulch around the roses with organic compost and feed them with rose food once a year, I find that the old fashioned shrub roses or floribundas do best for me.
