'June's Joy' rose Description

My HMF:

HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Notes:

Ludwig Taschner, who is the first to introduce this rose, wrote from South Africa:

"When I enquired about the release of the rose numbered 81-1011 the breeder Frank Benardella wrote in 1989 “it is our family’s favourite rose. It gives beautiful sprays of perfectly formed pink blooms. As for a name I am open for suggestions. Would ‘June’s Joy’ be appropriate?” The rose just keeps on performing very pleasingly and it seems that we are the only nursery in the world marketing ‘June’s Joy’. This lovely rose is a floribunda that is an easy performer; compact, dense and well proportioned. It is an ideal border rose and is especially rewarding when grown in a container."
