Flower Carpet Pink carries vivid pink flowers with a white eye at the center, on a plant 2 to 3 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide. Rosa Flower Carpet® Pink grows in full sun, hardy from Zone 5 through Zone 8.
Bloom runs from late spring through fall without pause and without deadheading. The flowers are single enough that the white eye and gold stamens show clearly.
Mildew resistance is the trait this one is known for, which matters in a humid climate or a spot with limited air movement. It needs no spray program.
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.
Full sun gives the heaviest bloom, and it tolerates heat, drought, and poor soil once established. Cut back by about a third in early spring. Shipped on its own roots.
