A lovely Polyantha rose – The Fairy

This rose is The Fairy. It’s a Polyantha rose.

This lovely rose grows to the size of about two feet and spreads approximately three to four feet. It blooms profusely several times each season with clusters of bead-like buds that open into globular pink flowers. It’s foliage is a nice deep shade of green and the plant is fairly resistant to most diseases.

The Fairy is also a hardy rose. Thriving in zones 4 to 9.

I barely ever have to do any special care for this rose. Each spring I might prune out a few of the branches that have died off, or thin the branches but that’s pretty much it. It’s very low care.

Does anyone else grow The Fairy?

I know that not everyone grows phlox in their garden, but I do think that because it’s always been a popular garden plant that it is a true garden classic.

This phlox is Phlox David. It’s hardy and disease resistant and of the many phlox hybrids this is one of the most popular.
