6/13 Pink Saturday

PinkSaturday It’s Pink Saturday, hosted by Beverly at How Sweet the Sound. Be sure to visit Beverly's blog to see a complete list of all the participants in today's Pink Saturday. (clicking on picture will open a link to her site in a new window)

Today I am sharing one of my pink roses called “The Fairy” rose. It is a very hardy polyantha shrub rose and blooms from spring to fall….. I planted a few of them 5-10 years ago… and (almost) ignore them…and they are gorgeous!

  4. Those roses are so beautiful. I see where a lot of landscape designs use the fairy rose. I was going to get another Knock Out, but I just may try the fairy rose. I like that you say it's a repeater.

  5. They're beautiful Susan! How many do you have planted together? I think I have 2 polyantha roses in the front yard. I'm constantly battling black spot in front & pruned a Henry Fonda & the smaller rose way back. A good dose of a systemic fertilizer & they both have buds on them. ☺ Diane

  10. Hi Susan!

    I have a Pink Saturday post this week, too. I rarely remember to do that!

    I absolutely love this post!! The rose is gorgeous! There is a rose, that looks like this one, on one of our routes home, here in town. I love driving around that way, just to see the roses!

    Happy Pink Saturday!

  19. Hi Susan, this post reminded me of my father in law. Sadly, he has been gone for awhile now. When we used to take walks in Colo. Sprgs, when came across this fairy rose. He admired it so much and so my husband and I bought him one for Father's Day. What a great memory, thankyou so much, and Happy Pink Saturday, Char

  20. Beautiful and fun Pink Saturday blog entry! It's a little gloomy outside today (hope the sun comes out) but your blog and a little cup of tea are giving me a little sun!

    How lovely. I really miss living in the south...such a long blooming time and more fun in the garden!

    Happy Pink Saturday. Sending you good wishes from the tip of Michigan for a special weekend filled with sun, surrounded by those you l♥ve.

  40. Oh Susan! (By the way have I ever told you that I LOVE the name Susan?....I have three REALLY close friends named Susan....So, a beautiful name and great ladies to go with it!!)

    Your roses are DELISH...I used to have a tiny pink rose...the name escapes me....but it only bloomed early in the spring and that was it for the season. This is a DREAM! PINK...and all season long. I'm going to make a note of this one.....and maybe can get DH to create yet another flower bed???? Oh my....

    Hugs,!

  55. Bonjour Susan, Lovely pictures. Like you I planted The Fairy. It is a lovely, exquisite, charming, simple pink rosebush. Alas, with no perfume but the gorgeous blooming excuses it.

  58. Susan,

    The Pink Fairy Rose is my Favorite. That is why I named my Pink Cottage the Pink Fairy Cottage. I planted alternating Pink Fairy Roses and lavender all along the path. It looks so cute. I'm glad I'm not the only one who adores this beautiful rose.
