More information

Jack Harkness released a series of miniature Vihurana rose hybrids in the late 70s. Most were seedlings of The Fairy and had the word Fairy in the name, including Fairy Dance. The blooms are dark pink or crimson, semi-marginal, produced in large numbers in clusters of 5–15. The foliage is small, dark green, glossy, and disease resistant. In the UK the shrub is compact, but in hot climates it grows much taller and can be trained as a miniature pleached rose. It reblooms abundantly and is suitable for cuttings. Suitable for containers.
