Rose Society Of South Australia's Rose Of The Month: 'The Fairy'

The Fairy’ was regarded by many as a breakthrough when bred by Ann Bentall in the United Kingdom and released in 1932.
This beautiful, low-growing rose produces large sprays ranging from 30 to 100 blooms, of soft, light pink, informal flowers. Its spreading habit ultimately became a core character of many modern landscape and groundcover roses. Indeed, it has been used as a parent for many of them.
The Fairy makes an ideal border and is in continuous flower from late spring to late autumn. Its glossy, small, dense foliage provides an excellent backdrop to the floral sprays.
