Mini Cherry Flower Carpet® Rose

Flower Carpet® Roses

Mini Cherry Flower Carpet® Rose covers itself in masses of petite cherry-red flowers on a plant that hugs the ground. Rosa Flower Carpet Mini Cherry grows 1 to 2 feet tall and spreads 2 to 3 feet in full sun, hardy from Zone 5 through Zone 10.

The flowers are smaller than the rest of the line and produced in such quantity that they blanket the foliage from late spring to frost.

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.

This is the most compact Flower Carpet, small enough for a container, a rock garden, or a narrow strip along a walk where the wide-spreading types would take over. It also takes heat to Zone 10. Cut back by about a third in late winter. Shipped on its own roots.

Received two ornamental flowering almonds. They were bigger than expected beautiful lush green and I was totally impressed. I wanted to get a heads up with planting them this August and get them growing so I could enjoy them in the spring. Thank you so much. Absolutely stunning.

I've received four roses from Spotswood Greenery and each won has been a big, healthy, beautiful plant. Shipping is super quick and prices are reasonable. I'm super satisfied and will be ordering many more!

Exceptional Roses

EXCEPTIONAL ROSES!

Recently, I received a #3 pot Wollerton Old Hall Rose, a #3 Alnwick Rose, and a #2 pot Sweet Mademoiselle rose from Spotswood Greenery. I could not be more pleased and grateful. All plants are in perfect condition. Each is supported by incredibly healthy roots, several Charles Atlas-like stems, and beautiful foliage. Packaging was very secure. Clearly done with care! Shipping was quite prompt. Now, pricing! I've grown roses for 40 of my 67 years. In that time, it's easy for me to say that Spotswood has exceeded every other source without question. I found three roses in stock I had wanted! The quality is champion! The prices are very good, excellent when one buys at the free shipping level! Worth every penny! Thank you, every one, on the Spotswood Greenery Team!

I just received my hypericum red fame and was amazed how big it was and just as pretty as my established one I have had a couple years. So happy because the last one I ordered online from another nursery came as a little stub compared to this! I will definitely use Spotswood Greenery for now on!

Wonderful

Quick shipping

Bought a David Austin rose; it arrived quickly however it had some damage upon arrival. Ended up pruning and defoliating a good bit to get rid of the broken cane and pest damage, but I expect it to be a beautiful bush down the road.

Lovely plants

Lovely plants, get with your shipper.

Comfortable ordering process

The information and accuracy of the description of the ordered plants was great. The ability to search for specific plants was nice. Could search for terms not pre-defined and still came up with relevant specimens.

The online ordering process went smoothly.

I ordered ~8 David Austin roses from here. They were equal in quality to the ones at my local nurseries (better than some), and $10 cheaper. Established roots, full of buds that have become gorgeous blooms. Will absolutely order from Spotswood again!

Planting and Care Guide

Planting Tips

Plant in spring or fall in fertile, well-drained soil, spacing 18–24 inches apart. Flower Carpet roses are designed to be easy — minimal soil preparation is needed beyond digging a wide planting hole and adding a little compost. Water deeply after planting and mulch 2–3 inches around the base. These compact roses work beautifully as low groundcovers, border edging, or in containers.

Care Tips

Plant in full sun, at least 6 hours a day. More sun gives more flowers and fewer leaf problems.
Plant in well-drained soil with compost worked in.
Water deeply once a week through the first summer and in dry spells after that, at the base of the plant and in the morning.
Mulch 2 to 3 inches deep, keeping it back from the canes.
Feed in spring as growth starts with a rose or balanced slow-release fertilizer. Feed again lightly after the first bloom, and stop by midsummer.
Most of these rebloom without deadheading. Trimming off spent clusters keeps the plant tidy.
Prune in early spring as the buds swell. Remove dead wood, then cut the whole plant back by about a third.
Groundcover types can be sheared back in early spring.
Do not prune in fall; wait until spring.
Black spot can show up in humid summers. Space plants for air movement and rake up fallen leaves.
Plants grown on their own roots regrow true to type if a hard winter kills them back.
Japanese beetles can strip flowers and leaves in midsummer. Hand-pick them into soapy water early in the day.
Rose rosette disease causes red, bristly, distorted new shoots. Remove and destroy an affected plant, roots and all; it does not recover.
