“The Fairy” rose
I love watching P. Allen Smith's Garden Home show on Sundays at 10am. Like many of you I began putting a list together of what I want to plant this year. This morning's show he did some landscape design for a front lawn and mentioned a type of rose that does really well in containers. The name is "The Fairy". I never thought about planting roses because I always thought they are really high maintenance. However, this variety is supposed to have repeat flowers all summer long until frost. It does well in containers and has perfect miniature pink blooms. It grows to a about 2ft tall. Here's a picture of "The Fairy" in container.

This is one of the most easiest and rewarding roses a gardener could grow. It is wonderful in or out of a containers. You can’t go wrong with it.

What a gorgeous plant! They are just darling little blooms, esp. in pink! I like the name “Fairy” as well…keeps them a little on the magical side! LOL.

Phooey, I don’t have room for more roses! But at only 2 ft. tall and a dainty name like “fairy” maybe I can squeeze it in….

I have a couple “Fairy” roses and they are such good performers. Compact and delicate and pretty little carnation type flowers. Think you will like having one.

Louise, thanks for sharing. Sounds like the Fairy may be a rose I can try
How much sun exposure does the Fairy need?

Oops. then that’s too bad for me. I don’t have that much sun anywhere in my apartment.
