WaterFor the Flower Carpet Rose, it is important to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. During the first growing season, water the roses once or twice a week with about 1.5 gallons per plant to establish a strong root system. Once established, water needs might decrease, but during hot or dry periods, irrigation could still be necessary 1-2 times weekly. Always water deeply to encourage deep root growth, and in the morning to allow foliage to dry out during the day which reduces the risk of disease.
LightFlower Carpet Roses require full sun to perform best, which means at least six hours of direct sunlight per day. The ideal spot is an area that receives morning sun, which is less intense and helps dry the dew on the leaves, reducing disease risks. Avoid planting in areas that are heavily shaded, as this can impede flowering and increase susceptibility to pests and diseases.
TemperatureFlower Carpet Roses thrive best in a temperature range of between 60°F to 70°F during the daytime. While they can tolerate temperatures as low as 20°F in winter dormancy, and as high as over 90°F in summer, the healthiest growth occurs within the aforementioned range. Providing adequate water during hotter temperatures helps in maintaining optimal health.
PruningPruning Flower Carpet Roses helps to maintain their shape, encourage new growth, and increase bloom production. Prune in early spring by removing dead or damaged wood and cutting back about one-third of the plant to stimulate fresh growth. Annual pruning is recommended, and removing faded flowers throughout the growing season will encourage reblooming.
CleaningAs needed
SoilFor the Flower Carpet Rose, a well-draining soil mix is essential. An ideal mixture would be one part loam, one part peat moss, and one part perlite or coarse builder's sand. This supports healthy root growth and prevents waterlogging. A soil pH between 6.0 and 6.5 is typically best for roses, aligning with their preference for slightly acidic conditions.
RepottingFlower Carpet Roses are generally grown outdoors and are not typically repotted as they are not container plants. In the rare case that a Flower Carpet Rose is container-grown, repotting should occur every 2-3 years to refresh the soil and accommodate root growth. Choose a larger pot to allow for continued root development.
Humidity & MistingFlower Carpet Roses tolerate a wide range of humidity levels common in outdoor environments. They do not require specific humidity conditions, but good air circulation around the plant reduces the risk of fungal diseases. Ideal humidity is whatever is natural to the climate in which they're grown.
Suitable locationsIndoor
Provide bright light, regular water, and well-drained soil.
Outdoor
Full sun, well-drained soil, hardy, and drought-tolerant.
Hardiness zone
5-11 USDA
Life cycleThe Flower Carpet Gold rose, a patented groundcover rose variety, begins its life cycle when a dormant bare-root plant or potted specimen is planted in well-draining soil during early spring after the last frost. The plant breaks dormancy with warmer temperatures, producing new shoots and foliage as it enters a vegetative growth stage. By late spring to early summer, the rose bush starts to bloom, showcasing its characteristic golden yellow flowers, which attract pollinators and continue to flourish throughout the growing season. During the blooming period, it may undergo cycles of flowering followed by a brief rest period. In fall, the plant prepares for dormancy by slowing growth and potentially producing hips if flowers have been pollinated, which can then serve as a food source for wildlife. As winter approaches, the Flower Carpet Gold rose becomes dormant, conserving energy until the next growing season begins.
PropogationPropogation time
Spring to early summer
Propogation: The Rosa Flower Carpet Gold, commonly known as the Flower Carpet Rose, is typically propagated through semi-hardwood cuttings. This process is often undertaken during the summer when the canes are semi-ripe. A length of about 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) of healthy, non-flowering stem is selected, and the leaves from the lower half of the cutting are removed. A clean cut is made just below a node, and the stem is dipped in rooting hormone to encourage root development. The cutting is then planted in a well-draining medium, kept moist, and covered with a plastic bag or dome to maintain humidity. Within a few weeks to a few months, roots should form, at which point the new rose plant can be gradually acclimatized to outdoor conditions and eventually transplanted into the garden.
