The flowering carpet rose bush is a hardy (Zones 4-10), low-maintenance plant that forms a dense mat of glossy green foliage, reaching approximately 1–3 feet in height and spreading 3–6 feet wide. It produces an abundance of small to medium-sized blooms from late spring through fall, often in waves. The flowers are typically single or semi-double and come in a wide range of colors including pink, red, white, yellow, and coral. These roses are bred for disease resistance, particularly against black spot and mildew, and require minimal pruning. They’re ideal for mass plantings, borders, slopes, or as colorful ground cover, offering a long season of vibrant, eye-catching color with very little upkeep.
