White Flower Carpet® Rose is the fragrant one in the line, carrying pure white semi-double flowers with a light scent you notice up close. Rosa Flower Carpet White grows 1 to 2 feet tall and spreads 4 to 5 feet in full sun, hardy from Zone 5 through Zone 8.
Bloom is abundant and continuous from late spring through fall, and the flowers clean off on their own.
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.
White reads brightest at dusk and in the shadier corners of a bed, which is worth considering when you place it. The glossy foliage holds clean through humid summers with no spray program. Cut back by about a third in late winter. Space 3 to 4 feet apart. Shipped on its own roots.
