Rose 'The Fairy'

Repeat bloomer. Color is paler with more heat. Very disease resistant.

I grew all my roses in the south in part shade, it WORKS. Use the reproductive layering technique and you can have this beautiful rose all over your property if you want.

Plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that The Fairy is thought of as hardy, so The Fairy will tend to go dormant or grow slowly over the winter months. The Fairy requires a loamy soil with a ph of 4.5 - 8.0 - it grows best in moderately acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil.

As a hybrid variety, this plant will not reliably grow true to type from seed.

It layered itself. You can layer it in your garden or in a pot. Simply remove some leaves from a low branch and cover the branch with garden soil. OR, layer it in a pot of soil. You must put a stone or something on the soil to hold it in place. To transplant cut the “mother” stem.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as The Fairy is a hardy plant.

Bred by Bentall (United Kingdom, 1932).
