Rosa Crystal Fairy - Groundcover Rose

The Crystal Fairy® rose bush is a compact variety that charms with its generous flowering and ease of maintenance. This rose bush is the white version of the famous and excellent ‘The Fairy’ rose bush. Suitable for flowering borders, flower beds, or slopes, it produces dense clusters of small white flowers that offer a continuous spectacle throughout summer. Floriferous and disease-resistant, this ground cover rose bush will not disappoint.

Bred by Jan Spek Rozen BV and Jackson & Perkins, the Crystal Fairy® rose bush 'Spreken' is a polyantha belonging to the ground cover rose bushes group. These rose bushes, known for their low height and spreading growth, are perfect for quickly covering surfaces. Crystal Fairy® forms a compact bush, measuring between 30 and 60 cm in height with a slightly wider spread, and has a rounded to spreading habit. Its branches are thorny and bear deciduous foliage, divided into ovate, toothed, shiny dark green leaflets. This foliage is resistant to rose diseases, with vegetation remaining healthy and vigorous throughout the season.

Flowers are the major asset of this rose bush. From early June until autumn, it produces very dense clusters of small double white flowers, which can sometimes turn slightly pale pink towards the end of flowering. Although not fragrant, their charm lies in their delicacy and abundance. Each flower measures about 3 cm in diameter. The reblooming of this variety is excellent, with flowers succeeding each other throughout summer if the soil remains moist.

The Crystal Fairy® rose bush is perfect as a ground cover, in borders, or at the front of flower beds. Its low and spreading habit creates a flowery carpet effect that can be used to stabilise slopes or adorn more formal spaces like the edge of pathways. Pair it with its pink counterpart 'The Fairy' in a large flower bed, planting 3 plants of each variety. This small white rose bush particularly complements other varieties like ‘Bonica’ (pink), ‘Louis Bleriot’ (dark pink), or ‘Little White Pet’ with pink buds and white pompom flowers.
