HELP !!!!!what about ground cover plants- does it work?

Floppy Rose

I have a two year old rose, "Wild Eve". It seems healthy and flowers freely but has an odd habit. All the stems arch and spread on the ground. Consequently the flowers, which are heavy, face down and push their faces into the soil! Is this because by lilly3
