Carpet Roses

Carpet Roses are low growing, spreading, carefree roses that are very vigorous. They are very useful landscape roses.

If you have a sloped area where erosion is a problem, these low spreading roses will help to keep the soil from washing away.

Or, if you have a spot in the front of your garden that could benefit from some rapidly spreading, low roses, try some of these.

Most Carpet roses (or) ground cover roses, tend to be very tough, and even salt tolerent. This makes them favorites of coastal gardeners. Because of their low profile, they will stand up to the drying winds found at beach fronts.

They are also very nice planted in the front of larger roses. These rose types are low-maintenance rose plants that are very hardy, and very easy to care for.

They are available in many colors.
