Groundcover roses are one of the newest trends in roses. These low-growing, sprawling shrubs are actually not a class of their own like many other rose types. Generally, what people consider groundcover roses are just low-growing shrub roses. But no matter what they are, these plants excel at filling space with nonstop blooms. These roses also tend to be extremely disease resistant and low-maintenance.
Rosa ‘Flower Carpet White’ is a remarkably easy rose to grow, and it has very good resistance to disease. It flowers prolifically from late spring and through the summer, bearing semi-double, white flowers with yellow centres, in contrast with healthy, glossy green leaves.
Grow Rosa ‘Flower Carpet White’ as ground cover or try it in containers, where it will trail slightly over the sides. Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering and mulch annually with well-rotted manure or compost.
