Growing Guide
Plant in a sunny position in fertile, well-drained soil. Water regularly while establishing and during prolonged dry periods, particularly if grown in containers. Apply a balanced rose fertiliser in spring to encourage healthy growth and repeat flowering.
Remove spent flower clusters to keep plants looking tidy and encourage further blooms throughout the season. In late winter or early spring, prune lightly to maintain a compact shape and remove any dead, damaged or crossing stems.
Why We Love It
'The Fairy' roses are renowned for their exceptional flowering performance and dependable garden value. Their naturally compact habit and long season of bloom make them equally effective in borders, mass planting and decorative patio pots.
