Only to be recommended. Robust and blooms non-stop until autumn. Good for embankments.

I can only agree with Ulrike Dopf: an uncomplicated, willingly flowering and pretty ground cover rose.

Our weeping standard Fairy (approx. 1.4 m) thrives splendidly in its container and was not impressed at all by the last prolonged frosty winter in northern Germany, even completely unprotected. The flowering lasts from early July into autumn and is exceedingly lush - despite wind and weather in a partially shaded position.
All kinds of well-known rose pests are a nuisance. The aphids in spring did not tolerate the rapeseed oil showers well, and against rust and black spot, systemic control agents from Neudorff and Bayer have so far helped 90%. Only against mildew does the Fairy seem to have a natural resistance. In autumn only a strong pruning can keep the growth in check. Conclusion: the rose is rewarding and easy to care for, if you combat pests and fungi immediately.

This rose blooms for months, is absolutely low-maintenance, and tolerates wind and even hard frost. It is somewhat susceptible to aphids, but you can get them under control if you treat early. A very beautiful rose - ideal for border plantings or stone walls.

had a shoot this year that looked as if several had grown together; when it bloomed, it was a bouquet all by itself ...
starts flowering quite late

Eine pflegeleichte Rose mit vielen kleinen rosa Blüten. Habe sie als kleines Hochstämmchen im Topf. Fängt im Juni an reichlich zu blühen bis in den September.

Wir haben dieses Jahr im April zwei wurzelnackte "The Fairy" per Versand bekommen und gepflanzt... bereits im Juli fingen sie an zu blühen und blühen jetzt - Mitte Oktober - noch immer. Wir wohnen im Zentralmassiv auf 800 m Höhe, haben sehr viel Wind, aber einen guten, fruchtbaren (eher sauren) Boden. Im ersten Jahr keinerlei Krankheiten oder Läuse - ohne jegliche Chemie . Vorbeugend gegen Pilzkrankheiten (meiner anderen Rosen) hatte ich im Juni/Juli einen Auszug von Ackerschachtelhalm gespritzt, geschadet hat's sicher nicht...
Eine sehr aparte, zierliche Rose.... empfehlenswert.

Die Bilder von Findus geben The Fairy sehr gut wieder.

Ich habe The Fairy seit 2 Jahren und bin sehr mit ihr zufrieden. Sie ist eine tolle, kleinblütige Rose. Ich habe auch eine Eden Rose im Garten und hatte beide zu einem Strauß zum Geburtstag meiner Mutter gebunden (im Oktober!). Keiner hat mir geglaubt, dass diese Rosen aus meinem Garten um diese Jahreszeit noch kommen... Beide passen sehr gut zusammen, weil sie eben nur in ihrer Größe sich unterscheiden, sonst aber sehr ähnliche Blüten haben. Kann ich beide auch in Kombination sehr empfehlen!

meine The Fairy wächst seit vielen Jahren auf der Südseite, in praller Sonne, Wind und Regen, im Winter starker Frost (Alpenvorland).
Sie verträgt alles, hatte noch nie eine Krankheit,auch keine Läuse.
Ich schneide sie im März bei abnehmenden Mond auf 30cm runter, dann etwas handelsüblichen Rosendünger, so wird sie dann im Sommer 60-70cm hoch und blüht bis November-Dezember
