This photograph comes with an interesting story. I posted this rose from Alnwick Gardens on my Flickr page which led to someone asking me what the rose was called. This was my response to that question:
I am waiting to see if I get a reply on what type of rose it is... In the meanwhile I thought I would check out flickr to see if someone else had posted one and put the name against it...I had emailed Alnwick Gardens to see if they could help me with the name. The Asst. Head Gardener came back to me very quickly with the following response:
I had a spooky moment, travelgraham-p has posted a picture taken on the same day of the very same rose taken at almost the same angle as me!!!! The photos were taken an hour apart, how weird is that?
The rose is 'Just Joey' and is a hybrid t which can be pruned in late winter to about 10 inches. It has a lovely perfume and repeat flowers well!

That is a perfectly beautiful rose! All roses, to my mind, should have a scent.
How weird to find that someone else was photographing the rose at almost the same time!
It is a beauty isn't it I'm with Meri about scent too.
Oh wow! I love this photo and the color is beautiful.
My beauty is here.
Love the color of this rose. My daddy has grown roses for years. We had some about that color one year just because the red ones and yellow ones did a funky thing. It only happened one year that I remember. Beautiful!
I love roses. Beautiful photo!
I did Photo Hunt today, too. :) http://newyorktraveler.net/photo-hunters-beautiful/
Gorgeous photo! Great choice for this week...
Rose is my favorite flower and this shot is awesome, lovely color.
Doesn't it have crinkly edges? perfume is the most important aspect of a rose i think.
How weird is that. It is a very beautiful rose, mine for today is called Hot Cocoa! Happy weekend Cherie
It's lovely. I would love to smell it.
Lovely Cherie, I love all flowers...what a beautiful color also :)
That's coincidental! And a good name for that unique rose :-)
Perhaps it should be called Cherrypie?
