The Fairy is a lovely rose that I added to my garden a few years ago. I have enjoyed the small pink 1 1/2" rosettes that are held in numerous clusters on the 3 foot bush. I have it placed in full sun with 2 other floribunda bushes and a climber (Iceburg and Queen Elizabeth) and it has performed well in spite of my neglect. This summer I have noticed that it has a touch of Blackspot but, I do not intend to spray it. In fact, the Japanese Beetles have really been the pest that has done the most damage and to curb their appetite I usually sprinkle Sevin Dust to inhibit them. The cut flowers do not last as long as some of the others I have but I enjoy them just the same. The image has been cropped.
