    I purchased and planted an Orange Rose called Joro from Poundstretcher some 8 years ago, cost £1.99.
    I have had so many people admire the orange flowers and the fragrance and how tall it is now,so out of curiosity I did a Google today.
    According to Gardening Direct, Joro should be @ 31 inch height and 16 inch spread.

    On My Joro Rose the roses grow from the lower part of the bush to the top,full flower and the fragrance is very pungent.
    I feed the rose on Gro more and banana skins.
    The Rose is now @ 96 inch in height and the Spread @55 inch.
    It is a Giant, I have it supported to a 7 foot open spar fence,not bad for £1.99.:dbgrtmb:.

        I've taken this picture from the internet, I hope it's right @music and @CanadianLori. It's a glorious colour. :)

            That's the one :)

            We've had a new one just come into flower and couldn't even remember buying it.
            Now you've said the name I remember buying it as s bare root plant just before Christmas from The Range, part of a 3 for £5 deal with " Summer Holiday" and " Virgo " but I don't think " Virgo " has made it.
