What a beautiful rose the Lovely Fairy is. I ordered 8 different roses, and Lovely Fairy died. I ordered a replacement rose, and it bloomed right away after arriving, and how clear and gorgeous the color is. I love this little rose!
I can always count on Lovely Fairy for her cute little blooms, even when the other roses are between flushes. Mine gets hardly any direct sun, but is almost always covered in blooms. I never have disease issues with it, although the only fungal problem I typically get here in So CA is powdery mildew. Lovely Fairy has never had powdery mildew here. She doesn’t even suffer from chlorosis in my alkaline soil. The blooms are wonderful for cutting, and last long in a vase. It does have lots of little thorns, though. I highly recommend Lovely Fairy.
I am thrilled with this rose. It is perfect for my rose garden. It has so many roses blooming at the same time. Perfect in front of taller roses. Thinking about ordering more in the future.
I've grown many roses in my life but none has been a more consistent winner than this little rose. Very disease resistant, very hardy -- I've had blooms at Christmas in my zone (6), with glossy green leaves and deep pink blooms. I left my last ones behind after a move so I'm buying more!
