Rose 'Flower Carpet Red' Details

“Flower Carpet Red” is a popular variety of ground cover rose that features masses of showy, dark red flowers. Flowering begins in spring and will continue until the first frost in winter. The flowers are complemented with glossy, dark green leaves held on slender stems. This deciduous shrub typically grows to 70 cm tall and 1.2 m wide and is generally pruned each winter with about 50% of the stem removed. It grows best when positioned in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site, and is tolerant of frost, cool climates, and has good disease resistance. “Flower Carpet Red” is commonly included in a mixed or border planting, used as a groundcover, added to a courtyard or cottage garden, or simply maintained in a container.
