Rosa 'Flower Carpet Red Velvet' is a popular and well-known ground cover rose, bearing deep pink, white-eyed flowers throughout summer. It's smaller than some spreading varieties, making more of a mound than a carpet. It makes a fine semi-trailing container shrub. The single, open nature of its flowers make it a good plant for bees.
Rosa 'Flower Carpet Red Velvet' is best planted in moist but well-drained soil in a sheltered, sunny site. To prune, simply trim stems back to within its designated space in late winter to early spring.
