Tough, low maintenance roses
1 September 2009
They’re tough and gorgeous. They don’t need fancy pruning, spraying or a lot of water. They are Flower Carpet Roses.
Anyone pulling together a plant list should know about Flower Carpet Roses - for two good reasons. They’re tough, low maintenance plants, and they’re simply beautiful.
You can plant masses of them and know that they’ll look after themselves, but more importantly, that they’ won’t look ordinary or utilitarian. Far from it, which is why you see them used both in public open spaces as well as professionally designed domestic landscapes.
There are eight colours to choose from; they don’t need spraying, deadheading or fancy pruning (a clip over with shears is a bonus but not essential). And they don’t take much water to become established. Take a closer look at the Flower Carpet Roses through the link below, or just ask around. You’ll soon see how easy it is to create really beautiful massed plantings.
