| Posted by Zazinnia (SC - Zone 8a) on May 27, 2016 6:27 PM The Fairy is the heaviest bloomer I have. The bush is covered in flowers. I now have to tie mine to a trellis to support the weight of the canes in bloom. [ Reply to this comment | |
| Posted by Newyorkrita (North Shore, Long Island, NY ) on Oct 4, 2011 3:01 PM The Fairy starts blooming later in the springtime here than do most of my other roses, but once it does start, it blooms nonstop until a hard freeze. The individual pink flowers are small, but the plant is covered in them. Mine sprawls over and grows between other shrubs planted around it. Canes of this rose do arch, so supply support of some sort or just let them hang. [ Reply to this comment | |
