In the garden
Rosa Fairy Damsel ('Harneatly') (Poly/GC) is a cultivated rose within the Rosaceae, presented under a specific cultivar name for garden use. As with other named roses, its value lies in repeat ornamental flowering and the predictable identity that a cultivar name provides. In the UK its flowering period is June to September. Plant where roots will receive good light and air movement; most garden roses perform best in a sunny spot with soil that drains freely but retains moisture. Prepare a planting hole with well-rotted organic matter, set the plant so the graft or crown is at an appropriate depth for the stock used, and firm in to eliminate air pockets. Keep new plants well watered while they establish, apply a mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, and feed with a balanced rose fertiliser in spring and again after the first flush of flowers. Prune in late winter or very early spring to remove dead or crossing wood and to shape the plant, cutting to healthy, outward-facing buds. Use Rosa Fairy Damsel ('Harneatly') (Poly/GC) in rose beds, mixed shrub borders or in suitably large containers where its flowering from June to September can be enjoyed close to paths and seating areas.
