The Fairy Rose
Pale Pink RoseThe Fairy rose, one of the finest pale pink rose bushes with dainty flowers. If you like light pink roses, baby pink roses and dainty roses, this rose is for you. 'The Fairy' is the world's most popular Polyantha rose, and one of the easiest to grow. Although 'The Fairy' comes into bloom later than almost any other, once it starts flowering it gives a prolific show of blooms for weeks on end, and continues until late fall. The flowers are a cheerful light pink, fading to pale pink. They are frilly and ruffled and come in clusters of
10-40 flowers. Sometimes they are followed by small, round orange hips.
Rose Fairy can be used in many ways in a garden. As a low hedge, in front of a border, trailing over a low wall, or planted in a container. It's only drawback is its lack of fragrance. If kept pruned, it will stay quite dwarf, or if allowed to grow
unchecked, it can be a small spreading shrub. It's also great as a weeping standard tree rose.
'The Fairy' is sold widely all over the world. It was introduced by Bentall, Britain, in 1932 and received the Royal Horticultural Society Award Of Merit in 1993. Zones 6-9, height 2.5 feet (75 cm), spread 4 feet (1.20 m)
