Carpet rose bushes after winter.
Like other types of roses carpet roses require pruning to maintain a tidy form.
Practically maintenance free yet extremely floriferous and vigorous plants can produce as many 2000 blooms per bush each season.
Once established some varieties can produce an astonishing display of up to 2 000 flowers from spring through to autumn.
As an extra bonus they re also self cleaning.
As these shrubs send out new blooms the spent blossoms drop neatly to the ground.
After pruning your flower carpet roses pull away any old dead leaves and mulch to get rid of any soil fungal infestations.
They re extraordinarily low maintenance and have exceptional disease resistance.
Give them a good feeding of controlled release fertiliser or something like espoma s rose food and that s all you ll need to do to get them started for another season of blooms.

Flower carpet roses produce wave after wave of blooms for months.
Flower carpet roses also often referred to as the carpet rose are the world s number one ground cover rose.
Shear off or cut back the carpet rose in late fall after growth has stopped or in early spring before growth resumes.
That plus their good manners and low growing habit makes them just the ticket for a flowery softly scented tidy hedge around a pool.
