Flower friends

 

Rose "Joey" comes back to visit every year like a reliable friend.  If we ever moved (which seems increasingly unlikely) how much would I miss these old flowers?

From Wiki:

Rosa Just Joey is an apricot blend hybrid tea rose cultivar, bred by Roger Pawsey and named in honor of his wife, Joey. The plant was introduced into the United Kingdom in 1972. 'Just Joey' was inducted into the Rose Hall of Fame as "World's Favorite Rose" in 1994.

The deep peach color looks especially vivid in the diffused grey light, which is great for photography, but not so great if you think summer should be here. It's been the coolest May in Seattle since 2012.  Another day of 50's and rain tomorrow, then we finally break into warmer weather just in time for the holiday weekend.
