So lovely and I&#39;m envious of your late blooms.

My favorite photo is her with her kiss of frost. I am sure it made her very uncomfortable, but to me it was just magical! I am glad she is so hardy!Mariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06890388727784255219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-17976194830302947972011-12-04T19:51:51.806-06:002011-12-04T19:51:51.806-06:00Love that second frosty photo Gail! Good to know Fairy roses are so easy-care. I&#39;ve always liked them, never tried them. It&#39;s a plus that they can do well in less-than-full-sun, and good to know they&#39;re so easy to propagate. I love playing around with propagating woody plants.garden girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13284047851881823280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-13923945085874700502011-12-04T13:28:43.737-06:002011-12-04T13:28:43.737-06:00Oh, how I adore the Fairy Rose too, Gail. &#39;Fairy&#39; lines the walkway to my front door and has held a place somewhere in my gardens since 1991.Debrahttp://www.gardensinspired.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-89751750703511349362011-12-04T08:19:34.158-06:002011-12-04T08:19:34.158-06:00It is sad to see them go but it is very pretty covered in the frost.Phillip Oliverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01546160918395373740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-22674160132934039782011-12-04T05:26:01.665-06:002011-12-04T05:26:01.665-06:00Les, I don&#39;t understand either. The only conclusion I can arrive at is that they read about Knockouts and their landscapers recommend them! These are the sweetest roses and the b foliage is outstanding. gailGailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16194325535496408116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-60719947321526427362011-12-03T22:41:14.230-06:002011-12-03T22:41:14.230-06:00So lovely, Gail.

I posted my last rose photos and would you not know we had warm weather after that. The buds just may open, who knows? My ground cover roses look like your Fairies though. Not sure they will open.gardenwalkgardentalk.comhttp://gardenwalkgardentalk.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-67320476502462885072011-12-03T19:23:58.999-06:002011-12-03T19:23:58.999-06:00I was excited when these new Fairies came out and stocked them for several years. They were not a big hit, so I had one of each planted in the display gardens at work where customers could see them. It still didn&#39;t help, and I am not sure why. We can&#39;t possibly have nothing but Knock Outs.Leshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18281256160705697856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-1120938527040558202011-12-03T17:55:51.337-06:002011-12-03T17:55:51.337-06:00I totally agree with adding the right roses for your landscape. My Mom lives in clay in Va (7a), and struggles with roses too, though she&#39;s been able to keep thriving a Ballerina (amended hole). Just in case you ever get the wild hair. I&#39;ll pass on your success to her.Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01524574998937986323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-43580076192494597112011-12-03T13:50:55.465-06:002011-12-03T13:50:55.465-06:00the souls of old roses - I like that - The Black Prince sends his greetings to the ladies!Elephant's Eyehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12286066768376135880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-67016927569618075132011-12-03T07:58:10.434-06:002011-12-03T07:58:10.434-06:00I love the photo of &#39;Lovely Fairy&#39; frozen in the first frost!

I have Fairy Queen and can vouch for the non-stop blooming and easy care. I think I need Crystal, Lovely and the original, too.

I have The Fairy and Fairy Queen. I get some blackspot on FQ, but nothing on The Fairy. I&#39;d like to try this one too. I wish they would offer more polyanthas and Chinas and other older, uncomplicated roses here too.~~DeeDee/reddirtramblingshttp://www.reddirtramblings.comnoreply@blogger.com
