The ‘Flower Carpet Coral’ rose is a vigorous groundcover rose with a spreading, dense habit, known for its abundant flowering and warm color. It produces a profusion of bright coral single to semi-double flowers with salmon hues, which bloom continuously from early summer until the first frosts. Its glossy dark green foliage remains healthy all season thanks to excellent disease resistance. Ideal for slopes, borders, rock gardens, or mass plantings, it quickly forms a structured and colorful carpet that requires little maintenance. Very hardy and high-performing, the ‘Flower Carpet Coral’ rose attracts pollinators and is a reliable choice for bringing warmth and dynamism to full-sun landscapes.
