First year with this rose. I am liking it a lot. It is staying low to the ground and sending out long low branches, almost like it could be a groundcover. The habit reminds me of how The Fairy was during it's early growth.
It is in a large decorative pot that has the bottom broken of, so the pot is sort of leaning forward a little bit. It's kind of like putting it in a small raised bed situation because the roots will have easy access to the ground beneath the pot. Anyway, the location suits it because it keeps the long branches from being on the ground. It's also right next to a fairy garden which is ideal because the flowers are very small.
The flowers are very fragrant. The flowers are very light pink for me so far. They flowers are in clusters and it just keeps blooming.
Very nice
Update 8/29/21
It is very hot here and we are at our worst point of the summer for black spot and disease. This rose is remarkably healthy with only a few leaves at the bottom showing yellowing from heat stress. Otherwise, the leaves are clean. This is impressive. It took a break from blooming for about 2 weeks during 100+ days ( my garden gets very hot as I'm in a city) but now it has clusters of buds again.
Early on the flowers were light pink and reminded me of a small Marie pavie bloom, but then as the bush matured they became darker pink and more cupped like I see in the pictures here.
I cut back the low growing braches after they bloomed and now it is sending out more upright branches.

Is it possible that this rose is ‘Gaspard Monge’ centifolia. I’ve never seen either one in person, but I’ve had Aunt Margy’s Rose on my wishlist for a while, and when I stumbled across a photo of Gaspard Monge I thought, “Oh, Aunt Margy’s Rose!” before I read the name.

Gaspard Monge is spring-only. I don't know "Aunt Margy's rose", but I see from comments and photos that it repeats.

This rose didn't even last long enough to bloom in my garden. I've replaced it with "Sweet Pea", which is very new, but seems more vigorous already.

My Aunt Margy's came as a small plant which I'm growing up in a pot, using organic fertilizers. It is about 1 ft x 1 ft and always has about 5 buds and / or open very fragrant blossoms. It even bloomed during our chilly rainy Winter with no disease. I live in the San Francisco area. It seems easier to grow up than some other polyanthas.

Does anyone know if Aunt Margy's Rose is heat tolerant?

It certainly is heat tolerant. We live in zone 9B and have many days over 100 degrees in the Summer. It always has flowers on it in the Spring thru Fall seasons.

this is a very energetic rose, likes to grow branches and flowers. mostly with lots of blooms on a stem.
the flower is tiny, and endures only 2-4 days.
but the scent is mid-strong (old rose fragrance), and the remontance keeps you enjoying some flowers everyday.
the bush is tiny, only 30cm high. the branches are week, not straight up, it's better to grow in pot , if you hang up the pot, you can get a better view of the beautiful tiny pinkies.
