Hi Alicia, If I really think hard about flaws.... I guess if you like to
spray, you wouldn't like 'The Fairy' because it never gets diseased or
aphids, etc., so you would miss all that fun. And if you REALLY HAVE TO
HAVE rose hips, you won't like it because it has none. But the BIGGEST
drawback would be if you HATE bouquets with oodles of dainty pink roses
because The Fairy begs to be picked--the more you pick, the more you get!
By the way, it does well in sun too. Well darn, I guess that's just too
many flaws :).
