Ground cover roses are so-called because they tend to grow wider than tall. They often have smaller flowers than standard or climbing roses, and may be used as ground cover or planted in a pot, where the flowers and foliage will spill out over the sides.
Rosa 'County of Staffordshire' is a fantastic ground-cover rose, bearing clusters of between five and eight copper-yellow flowers, which fade to a warm amber, from June to October.
For best results, deadhead spent flowers and feed fortnightly with a potash-rich fertiliser.
