First Just Joey is out:
Fave rose.
Edit: and to celebtrate I'm doing a shitload of mini dim sims for dins.
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.
Beautiful!
That's pretty. I don't have any roses at the moment, I'll live vicariously through yours. Is it scented?
Yea very strong (and nice) scent.
Has its own wiki lol.
