Fairmount Flouncy Pink
Original price was: $27.95.$20.96Current price is: $20.96.
-25%Shrub (origin unknown – found in Denver’s Fairmount Cemetery)
I have been working with the roses in Fairmount Cemetery for over 15 years now, and had heard rumblings of a rose called Fairmount Flouncy Pink, but the rose had never caught my eye until this spring. Originally cataloged in the 1990’s and subsequently moved into a preservation area, Fairmount Flouncy Pink has endured the years in relative obscurity like so many cemetery roses. I’m glad to have finally made the discovery for myself. This shrub seems to have some more modern rose characteristics that some of it’s cemetery brethren. Layered medium pink double blooms sit upright on a rounded shrub with glossy green foliage. Hardy at least to zone 5 and some later season rebloom.
Possibly Shailer’s Provence.

I fell in love with the story and name of Fairmount Flouncy and decided to try to grow her myself. She really is a charmer. This is her second season with me. I grew her in a pot the first year to get her a little bigger and stronger, and put her in the ground earlier this year. I am training her as a climber up the street on my street, and she has responded well to this with plenty of vigorous growth, and her longest canes are probably about 5 feet tall in her second year. This has been her growth habit despite being in partial shade where I’ve put her. Thorns are average but I keep her unobtrusive to the adjacent sidewalk. She has been a once-bloomer so far for me—big, beautiful dark pink flowers with a mild to moderate fragrance. I have constant blackspot pressure in my humid 6b garden, but Fairmount Flouncy is largely unbothered by it, which is a huge plus since she is so publicly displayed (I got permission from the neighbors before putting her there, and they all love her, too!).
