Rose - Dwarf Fairy

Common Name:
Dwarf Fairy Rose

Description:
Rose ‘Dwarf Fairy’ is a vibrant and compact polyantha-style rose, prized for its masses of small, fully double blooms in a striking bright orange-red hue. The flowers are borne in generous clusters, creating a bold and eye-catching display that contrasts beautifully against its dense green foliage. Flowering continuously from spring through to late autumn in Melbourne, it provides long-lasting colour with minimal effort. Its low-growing, spreading habit makes it ideal for borders, edging, mass planting, and container displays. Best grown in full sun with well-drained, fertile soil, this hardy variety is easy to care for, requiring only light pruning and regular feeding to maintain its prolific flowering. ‘Dwarf Fairy’ is perfect for adding a vivid splash of colour to small gardens, courtyards, and landscape plantings.
