Introduction

Winner of over 25 GOLD and INTERNATIONAL Rose AWARDS

Many times referred to as the "Wonder Rose", the Flower Carpet® ground cover roses, (or Carpet Roses as they are also often referred to as) , are some of the most popular roses available in the world today. This is because of their long flowering period, easy care and exceptional disease resistance and great drought tolerance.

Can be grown in full sun, or partial shade, (minimum of 5 hours sun on a sunny day in most areas is sufficient for these remarkable roses). In very hot climates, they prefer partial shade during the heat of the day.

A well grown two to three year old plant can provide up to and over 1,000 blooms or more per bush on top of the rich glossy green foliage.

Over 35 years of breeding by Noack Rosen has gone into the development of these disease tolerant, easy care, free flowering beauties. Great planted en masse in the landscape or in a group in the garden. As a Tree Rose, they are one of the most stunning plants available in the garden.

...and you can grow them in full sun to half shade, no other roses perform so well.

Will readily thrive in USDA Zones 5 to 10. In cold zones, protect with mulch over the crown during the first winter. In zones 5 and below, continued winter protection is advised. (Plants have grown successfully down to zones 3b). For winter protection tips, please go to the FAQs for Flower Carpet roses.
