Fairy Rose and Flax

The patio gardens are a source of wonderment in Autumn and early winter when The Fairy Rose flowers alongside this pink leaved flax.

The Fairy Rose with Flax

Garden Full of Fairy Roses

My Fairy Roses came from cuttings taken off one originally purchased plant. I grow this rose in many different places in the garden, and always enjoy its flowering times - it bridges the gap when most of my other roses are resting.

There was one standard Fairy Rose here in the garden when we arrived, next to a Hypericum shrub. Their flowering times coincide, and I can't quite decide whether I like the pink and yellow effect or not. Hmm...

This rose should properly be called 'The Fairy Rose', but it's difficult to write this name into sentences without sounding foolish. As for the flax - well, it's merely one of my many small hybrid flaxes whose colours are absolutely stunning. New Zealand gardeners don't know how lucky they are to have such beautiful flax hybrids in all the nurseries - and never expensively priced, either!
