The Fairy
Polyantha ('Paul Crampel' x 'Lady Gay') Bentall (U.K.) 1932

Date Planted:  3/21/97
Source:  Home Depot, bagged bareroot
Exposure:  full sun
This has been a very popular and widely grown rose for many years, and for good reason!  It is tough, disease resistant and blooms profusely all season long.  It's cascading habit makes it suitable for use as a groundcover rose, although it is more widely grown as a shrub.  It's flowers, although small and unscented, repeat reliably - this shrub is rarely without blooms!  Dynamite landscape plant.

Polyanthas aren't technically considered Old Garden Roses, but I have included them with the OGRs, rather than the Shrub Roses, because they tend to blend is so well with the true OGRs.
