Ground-cover roses are low growing shrubs, which grow wider than they are tall. They have a graceful, arching habit, and produce small flowers for several weeks in summer.
Rosa ‘Flower Carpet’ bears large trusses of small, semi-double, red-pink flowers throughout summer. A fast-growing rose, it's ideal for growing at the front of the border or in a large pot, where its flowers can spill over the side.
For best results grow Rosa 'Flower Carpet' in moist but well-drained soil in full sun. Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering and feed fortnightly with a high-potash fertiliser.
