About The Fairy Potted Rose Bush

Rosa ‘The Fairy’ 

A charming, compact rose that produces masses of delicate, shell‑pink rosette blooms in generous clusters from late spring right through to frost. With glossy dark green foliage and a low, spreading habit, The Fairy is ultra-disease-resistant, thrives in full sun or light shade, and earned the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit in 1993
