Trevor shares how Flower Carpet roses are the perfect blend of beauty and simplicity – long-lasting blooms, no spraying, and just an annual trim.

• Flower Carpet roses can flower for up to 9 months of the year, providing vibrant colour throughout most seasons. Their self-cleaning nature means no need for de-heading after each flush of blooms, making them low maintenance.
• These roses can be used as feature plants, in containers, as hedge alternatives, or in mass plantings. They are also perfect as standard roses, offering incredible flexibility in garden design.
• Flower Carpet roses are easy to care for, requiring no spraying and just a simple annual trim with hedge trimmers. They are truly no-fuss, providing an attractive garden without constant attention.
• Flower Carpet roses are the result of years of breeding to create a plant that thrives in home gardens. Bred to be disease-resistant, with continuous blooms, they outperform traditional hybrid tea and floribunda roses.
• The tougher you treat Flower Carpet roses, the more they reward you with abundant blooms. Regular pruning and feeding are all that’s needed to keep these roses performing at their best.
• Since the original pink variety, Flower Carpet roses have expanded to include soft pinks, yellows, reds, and even a stunning white. The introduction of grafted standards has added a new dimension, making them even more versatile.
• With over 30 gold medals at rose shows and induction into the Rose Hall of Fame, Flower Carpet roses are internationally acclaimed. Their superior traits and year-round performance make them a top contender for Australian plant of the year.
