Rosa flower carpet

[andy]

Went to Wisley yesterday and was absolutely gobsmacked at one of the roses i saw there. Im not a fan of roses but this particular ones was just stunning. I got home and googled it and apparently it is part of a series of roses called "flower carpet"

I saw the scarlet one but the Amber, red and pink ones all looked superb in the link below.

Anyone partaken ?

Yes, I have two of the pink ones planted on my raised bank facing east - I want them to drape gracefully over the edge! i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/smiley.gif I planted them when I did the makeover earlier this year, and they've been flowering really well. I'll post a photo later.

They look amazing Andy, well worth looking out for. Now could I find a home for some ;D

Just emailed my boss with the above link and asked if he could get me a dozen for a trial ;D

Here's one of my Rose Carpet 'pink' bushes when it was just starting to flower back in June. It's just started again now. i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/smiley.gif
