This petite, reliable rose has been a favorite among gardeners for almost 60 years. Soft pink roses that are charmingly displayed against disease resistant foliage appear continuously all summer. Excellent as a landscape shrub or weeping standard. VEry winter hardy.
Eight "The Fairy" roses create a rose hedge along our newly poured cement driveway. One specimen is also planted in the rose/shrub border between "Fritz Nobis" and "Chloris."
