'Red Ballerina' rose References
Book (1978) Page(s) 31. E. F. Allen, Awards To New Rose Seedlings In Great Britain In 1977 Marjorie Fair ('Ballerina' x 'Baby Faurax'). An interesting and unusual floribunda, by Jack Harkness, with almost single small pink flowers in large heads. At its best it is most floriferous and effective but I noted no flowers in late August of 1976. Its 'Musk Rose' (Synstylae) parentage shows itself in being unusually attractive to honey bees. Trial Ground Certificate.
Book (1978) Page(s) 159. In 1977 my firm introduced the first good red rose after 'Ballerina's' style. It is 'Marjorie Fair', bred from 'Ballerina x 'Baby Faurax'. The flowers are a cheerful carmine red with a white eye.
