Garden Design - Traditional Plantings and Materials
The old tea roses in front of this colonial era Cape Cod home were looking a bit tired, and I suspect this "The Fairy" shrub rose is actually closer to what might have been originally planted in this location. With small compound blooms and low size it is perfectly in scale with the compact fence and yard, and cheers passersby on their way to the beach in early to mid summer! Easy to grow as low shrub or trained on small fence/ trellis. Plant in sun, in well drained soil. Hardy to zone 5 or colder if happy, grown on it's own root stock to if frosted let it come back.
Love these roses
