to deadhead mine even once, except after the flowers finished. Some pictures show up a lot of
dead blooms, but I never saw that many on my bush. From memory, this rose is very prickly - its
only downside. So just wear thick gloves when working with it.

See how many blooms you get? So Sweet. 

Did I mention that it has a climbing form? Well, it has. A sport (a genetic mutation found
on the original shrub). It's a small climber and I bought it, but I was disappointed with the shape
of the petals. They were double, but just too flat. The blooms lacked the beautiful shape which is
characteristic of the Fairy. But that's just my personal opinion, having been rather attached to
the shrub type. This is a disease resistant rose.

The Fairy Rose. Good Points.

It is resistant to rust, powdery mildew and even black spot (ideal for here in SE Queensland).

Another good point, along with its disease resistance, is the fact that it can be trained, if you get

in early to avoid the prickles.  It is also shade tolerant; ideal for at the base of a tree or in a
corner (although it must have good air circulation around its base, like all roses). If you live in
the city, it is an ideal choice. Not only is it small and hardy, but it is resistant to pollution. This
rose is not going to die on a smoggy morning. 

The Birth, Bridal and Death Of The The Fairy

Rose.

Mine was in a medium sized 'faux' barrel made of cement. The grey-brown colour of the
container really set off the rose. It grew into a beautiful bush, surrounded with various pots of
annuals and perennial companion plants in dark blue and white.

The Fairy Rose needs very little attention. It is hardy, drought and disease resistant and blooms
'as if it meant it'. Wherever you put it, it asks for only one thing: good drainage. Like all roses,
they hate wet feet. It loves a good organic or compost mulch, and if you must give it fertilizer,
use a slow release, occasionally. Early pruning after the flowering season will promote new
growth and deadheading will extend the life of the flowers well into autumn.
