Fairy Rose is a Fall flower and the most valuable honey flower in the game. As a cut flower it earns only a modest margin over its pricey seed. Planted next to Bee Houses, though, it turns ordinary honey into Fairy Rose Honey, worth several times as much. Evelyn and Jas both love it, which makes it a top gift for them. The flower is also an ingredient in Fairy Dust, which finishes a machine's work instantly.
The in-game description reads: An old folk legend suggests that the sweet smell of this flower attracts fairies.
Growing
Fairy Rose grows through four stages and gives one flower per plant. Each tile is replanted after harvest.
The long growing time leaves room for two plantings in Fall. A seed sown on the first of Fall blooms about halfway through the season, and a second planting finishes just before winter. Even with the fastest growth boosts, a third cycle does not fit.
Pierre's General Store sells Fairy Seeds in Fall.
Each flower comes out in one of six colours, all equally likely. The colour changes nothing about price, honey or recipes, but each colour takes its own slot in a chest.
Speed-Gro and the Agriculturist profession shorten the growing time. With Deluxe Fertilizer the rose can reach iridium quality, and that lifts both its price and the energy and health it restores.
Prices
Sold as a flower, Fairy Rose earns little for the space and money it takes. The real value is honey.
A Bee House within five tiles of a mature Fairy Rose makes Fairy Rose Honey. It is worth almost seven times as much as plain Wild Honey, the highest of any honey. The Artisan profession adds another forty percent. Poppy in Summer and Blue Jazz in Spring make cheaper honey, so Fall is the best season for a Bee House farm.
One flower can supply every Bee House within its range. A single Fairy Rose in the middle of a large ring of Bee Houses is enough. The flower has to stay in the ground for the honey to keep its flavour. Picking it before the honey is collected turns that batch into Wild Honey.
Fairy Rose Honey should be sold as it is. Turning it into Mead in a Keg loses value, because Mead sells for a fixed price lower than this honey.
Fairy Roses also grow all year on Ginger Island, where Bee Houses keep working. That lets a Fairy Rose honey farm run in every season.
Uses
Crafting a Diamond with a Fairy Rose makes Fairy Dust. The quest "The Pirate's Wife" unlocks the recipe. Sprinkling Fairy Dust on a Keg, Furnace or other machine finishes its product at once.
With the Remixed Bundles, Fairy Rose is one of the options for the Garden Bundle in the Pantry.
In tailoring, Fairy Rose in the Sewing Machine makes a dyeable Long Dress. It also works as a red dye at the dye pots in Emily and Haley's house, even though no Fairy Rose comes out truly red.
Gifts
Evelyn and Jas love Fairy Rose. It is one of the easiest loved gifts for both of them in Fall.
Abigail, Alex, Caroline, Demetrius, the Dwarf, Elliott, Emily, Gus, Haley, Harvey, Jodi, Kent, Krobus, Leah, Leo, Lewis, Linus, Marnie, Maru, Pam, Penny, Pierre, Robin, Sam, Sandy, Shane, Vincent, Willy and the Wizard like it.
Clint, George and Sebastian dislike it.
Villagers such as Abigail, Haley and Vincent, who dislike most vegetables, like Fairy Rose. That makes it a useful Fall gift for them too.

Notes
Plant Fairy Roses in the middle of the Bee Houses, not in the main crop field. Mark them as honey flowers and leave them unharvested all season.
Keep one or two spare flowers in a chest for Fairy Dust and for gifts to Evelyn and Jas.
