What Growers Notice

Notes, Photos, and Shared Experience

Read the overview first, then look through shared photos and real grower notes to get a better feel for how this rose behaves.

Overview

This charmer is one of the most cherished shrub roses in cultivation. Masses of dainty, ruffled blooms measuring 1–1½" appear in captivating pyramidal clusters that gracefully arch toward the ground, creating a spectacular display from late spring through autumn. The soft pink flowers, which elegantly fade to blushed white in intense sunlight, complement the abundant glossy green foliage on this naturally disease-resistant bush. Perfect for container gardens, flowering hedges or spilling over retaining walls. Pot not included.

Catalog note: This rose record was merged with duplicate listings for The Fairy on April 14, 2026.
