This is rose is a winner. The Red Fairy (Moore 1995) has survived the ultimate rose endurance test: no water, no pruning, no spraying for 15 years and it still looks magnificent.

It blooms prolifically all summer long, though it starts later than most roses. It stands 1.5m tall and about 2m in diameter. It has proven impervious to the entire compendium of rose diseases.

This is a perfect rose for the dry summers of Western Oregon. USDA zones 6b through 9b.

@skry @twobraids Thank you for link ✌ bookmarked in case my local hunt comes up empty. I tend to try to obtain almost everything locally first. I only buy things non-locally when unable to find in city or on the island we live on.
