Rose 'Flower Carpet Red'

‘Flower Carpet Red’ Rose (Rosa ‘Flower Carpet Rouge’). The ‘Flower Carpet Scarlet’ Rose is a vigorous groundcover rose with a spreading, dense habit, known for its spectacular flowering and exceptional disease resistance. It produces a profusion of brilliant scarlet single flowers, set off by glossy dark green foliage that remains healthy all season. Flowering profusely from early summer until the first frosts, it quickly forms a colorful carpet ideal for embankments, borders, rock gardens, or mass plantings. Its rapid growth effectively covers the ground while limiting maintenance.

To plant ‘Flower Carpet Red’ rose, choose a suitable exposure: full sun. The recommended soil is: rich, well-drained soil. Water at the base and allow air to circulate between the branches. Remove dead parts with a clean tool, then prune according to the rose's group. Winter protection depends on its hardiness and the possible presence of a graft union. Water the root ball before planting and ensure water can drain after planting. During establishment, check the soil moisture by hand before watering again.

Allow a width of 1 m (3.3 ft) when planning space for this plant in the garden. The indicated height of 80 cm (31 in) helps in choosing its position relative to neighboring plants. Maintain access to the base for weeding, checking moisture, and removing damaged parts. Pair this variety with plants that have compatible light and water needs. If considering a container, first check that its volume and drainage are suitable for root development. Roots in pots are more exposed to cold than those planted in the ground.
