I have 2 Just Joeys and they are doing well in north facing garden (in Sydney, probably equivalent to Zone 10-11). One of them is a cutting I made from the original, which I moved from
Melbourne, it was my partner's mother's rose so I am glad it is
thriving. I'd like to get some more roses like these but there's not much space, only about 7.6m or 25' wide and 3.16m or 10' deep, and a lemon tree shades some of this.

This is one of the JJs, I'd like something with this sort of form.


Can you suggest some roses that don't sprawl or get really tall, are fragrant and have large flowers that are good as cut flowers?

Also would be good if they could be grown in pots.

I like pink or apricot/yellow ... Valencia looks great but may be too big.

Also how far apart should roses be? One of the JJ's is 24" at the base from a Queen Elizabeth (that I'm going to move this winter) and they both seem to be ok. I'm just wondering how many roses I can pack into a small space! The back garden is bigger but faces south & has large trees over so doesn't get enough sun for roses.
