I will be putting in 7 roses George Burns Intrigue Lavaglut Margaret Merril Easy Going The Fairy Baby Grand Here's one link to a picture and description of a mature "The Fairy": http://members.fortunecity.com/cnett...ur/thefairy.ht ml Very pretty shot of her, Gail. It's a bit more spreading than I thought at first. How much smaller can she be pruned down to, do you think? (width wise) I may not be saying that right so I hope you know what I mean. I've never grown a Fairy but given that they're always available around here, and a lot of people grow them, I suspect they're hard to kill. I do grow Red Cascade (a mini rambler, I believe is the classification) that we "prune" often with a weed whacker and the rose(s) don't care! I grew the first four from cuttings from a local groundcover demo site, then grew 18 from cuttings last year, hoping at least a dozen would survive. Well, all 18 survived so I planted a bunch of them as mini-windbreaks. I'm guessing Fairy would function much the same. Gail |
