Amber Flower Carpet® Rose opens semi-double flowers in amber to apricot that fade to seashell pink as they age, so a plant in bloom carries the full range at once. Rosa Flower Carpet Amber grows 1 to 2 feet tall and spreads 5 to 6 feet in full sun, hardy from Zone 4 through Zone 8.
Bloom is continuous from late spring through frost, with no deadheading needed.
Flower Carpet roses were bred in Germany for landscape performance rather than cut-flower form: a low spreading habit, continuous bloom, and enough disease resistance to go without spraying. They are self-cleaning, so no deadheading, and they fill in to the ground rather than going bare at the base.
The five to six foot spread makes this one of the widest, so a single plant covers real ground as a bank cover or a long edging. Zone 4 hardiness is unusual in the line and puts it further north than most of the group. Cut back by about a third in late winter. Space 4 feet apart for coverage. Shipped on its own roots.
