CONTAINER GARDENING 11 FLOORS UP

GARDEN JOURNAL

Micro Mini

I discovered this little micro mini rose at the Calgary Hort Society gardening show on the weekend. It’s called “Sweet Fairy” and was bred by Jan de Vink in 1946. It doesn’t grow any taller than 12 inches and each rose has 35 petals. But what is really amazing is its sweet, very intense fragrance. It’s rated Zone 4 so it will be coming into the house for the winter. Probably should have bought two.
