Flower Carpet® roses / Companion Plants
Flower Carpet® PINK and Flower Carpet® APPLEBLOSSOM roses planted together and blooming over a fence creating an interesting effect.
Flower Carpet® roses look great planted with low growing or spreading conifers - particularly those with golden or blue/gray foliage - and dwarf cypresses for height.
For a more formal design try edging your beds of Flower Carpet roses with clipped hedges of box.
A soft billowing effect can be obtained with an edging of Nepata (Catnip) whose feathery gray foliage and soft blue flowers are the perfect foil for all the colors of the Flower Carpet rose series.
Plant Flower Carpet Standard or Tree roses interspersed in your Flower Carpet Groundcover roses to give additional height and interest to your plantings
A hedge of lavender is a wonderful, fragrant backdrop to a planting of Flower Carpet roses and can be complimented with an edging of Stachys Byzantium (Lamb’s Ears) to continue the color theme.
Flower Carpet Coral roses look stunning placed in front of a planting of Tropicanna® with its purple, orange, raspberry, chartreuse and yellow striped foliage.
Underplant your Flower Carpet roses with early spring flowering bulbs such as Daffodils and Jonquils. These will provide color when your Flower Carpet roses have had their annual trimming and will have died down well before your roses burst into bloom in late spring.
