Hi,
1/ do you think Elina and Just Joey would be too vigorous to grow as standards?
2/ Are any rose nurseries producing them?
3/ Is it too late for bare-root orders? |

| Hi I have a standard Just Joey I bought at Dandenong Market because it looked really good. It's been terrific (only planted in Feb this year). It's double grafted and has about 9 blooms at a time. In the dreadful windy weather we've had I've needed to put in an extra stake, but it's looking as though it might get another round of blooms in. Treloars have them as standards, but frankly theirs don't look as good as mine. I hope it's not too late to order, a series of domestic disasters has put my rose list on hold. |

| They would be quite vigorous Barbara, but that's not a bad thing. Growing a standard means shaping the bush, whatever kind you grow. If it's vigorous you cut back a little more stringently - no big deal. |

Hi Barbara
Both would be fine as standards aslong as you keep them trimmed .
Lando plants i am sure had them both and they were only 20 bucks so why bother with a bare rooted rose,which would be a year younger just to save a few bucks |

Now where is Lando Plants so we can all have a look at their stock,
Barbara I have Elina as a bush rose but I think if you keep it trimmed it would look magnificent in a standard
good luck

| I bought Elina and Just Joey as bush roses and I've taken cutting after cutting from Elina for cutting roses for the house. I want these as standards for my daughter-in-law's front garden. I'll have a look at Lando Plants - we're not too far away. |

I have Elina as a bush and a standard. My bush is around 6' tall and the standard is about 4' from the graft. Both are vigorous and you get a lovely crop of flowers.
I only have just joey as a bush but have seen standards, it wouldn't be as vigorous as the Elina.
Treloars have them both as standards. |

Hi Fran,
do you know where she bought it? I need a few. |
RE: Elina and Just Joey as standards

It was there when they bought the house, so I don't know.
But it is sensational.
I am checking with Roseworld at Moyhu to see if Clive has any as his stuff is SO cheap and VERY good.... |
