| 'Marjorie Fair' is a dense polyantha rose producing mop-headed clusters of many cupped, single, wine-red flowers, each with a white eye. Glossy, mid-green leaves. Also sold in plant nurseries as Red Ballerina or Red Yesterday rose.
In general, roses are a large group of flowering shrubs, most with showy flowers that are single-petalled to fully double petalled. Leaves are typically medium to dark green, glossy, and ovate, with finely toothed edges. Vary in size from 1/2 inch to 6 inches, five petals to more than 30, and in nearly every color. Often the flowers are very fragrant.
Most varieties grow on long canes that sometimes climb. Unfortunately, this favorite plant is quite susceptible to a variety of diseases and pests, many of which can be controlled with good cultural practices. |
