Rose ‘The Fairy’ (Polyantha)

This well known Polyantha Rose bears abundant sprays of small but fully double, pale pink, scentless blooms. Rose ‘The Fairy’ is later flowering than many varieties, blooming freely from late summer right through to autumn. The arching stems form a shapely, low growing, mound which is covered in plenty of glossy green foliage. This trouble free RHS AGM variety has a spreading habit that makes good ground cover or a prickly, low growing hedge. Height: 60cm (24″). Spread: 90cm (36″).

Also available as a standard rose on a 100cm stem.

Culinary note: Some parts of these flowers are edible. Rosehips and petals can be used in making syrups and the petals will add flavour to cold drinks or fruit dishes. For more details about edible flowers click here.

Companion planting: Try growing roses with garlic, chives, thyme or mint to help deter aphids and blackfly.

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
