Well branched stems are cloaked in glossy green foliage that shows good resistance to disease. A neat, compact variety with a low spreading habit, Rose ‘Red Fairy’ makes a lovely patio shrub or an attractive addition to sunny borders. The colourful blooms also make good cut flowers. Height: 75cm (30″). Spread: 100cm (39″).
