Additional Information

The Flower Carpet Rose is a low-growing, compact, heat tolerant plant that produces many semi-double, yellow flowers spring through fall. Although this variant is quite disease resistant, good cultural practices are still important. Avoid wetting the foliage when watering, place the plant in an area with good air circulation, and remove dead or diseased plant matter as soon as possible. Prune plant back to a third of its height in late winter or early spring, however branches are covered with thorns, making pruning difficult.
