WaterFlower Carpet roses, including the variety Sunshine, should be watered deeply once a week, with adjustments for rainfall and temperature. Ensure the plant receives at least 1 gallon of water during each watering session. During hot, dry periods, increase waterings to twice a week. This deep watering method encourages a strong root system. It is important not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot and other moisture-related diseases.
LightFlower Carpet roses, such as Sunshine, thrive in full sun, needing at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. The ideal spot is one where the morning sun dries dew quickly from the leaves, reducing disease risk. They can tolerate some light shade, especially in hotter climates, but too much shade reduces blooming and may lead to weakened plants.
TemperatureFlower Carpet roses like Sunshine prefer temperatures between 60°F and 75°F but can tolerate extremes from just above freezing to around 90°F. During winter, they can survive short periods of colder weather but should be protected if temperatures consistently drop below 20°F. In hotter climates, providing some afternoon shade can help to mitigate the heat stress on the plants.
PruningPrune Flower Carpet roses like Sunshine to shape the plant, remove dead wood, and encourage healthy growth. The best time to prune is late winter or early spring before new growth begins. It's typically recommended to prune them back by about one-third of their size. Remove any dead, diseased, or crossing branches during the growing season, as needed, to maintain plant health and appearance.

Life cycleThe Rosa Flower Carpet Sunshine, commonly known as the Flower Carpet Rose, begins its life as a dormant bare-root plant or potted juvenile. After planting, it enters a vegetative stage where it develops a robust root system and foliage through springtime. As temperatures warm, it advances to the flowering stage in late spring to summer, producing vibrant yellow blooms prolifically until fall; during this period, it also undergoes pollination, often with the help of insects. Following pollination, it may produce hips (fruit) containing seeds, although many cultivars are bred for reduced hip production to enhance flowering. As temperatures drop in autumn, the plant enters a period of dormancy where growth slows down and it may lose leaves in preparation for winter. With the return of spring, the cycle repeats, with the rosebush growing larger and more prolific each year.
PropogationPropogation time
Spring-Early Summer
The Rosa Flower Carpet Sunshine, commonly referred to as simply Flower Carpet Rose, is most commonly propagated through semi-hardwood cuttings. This method involves taking cuttings from the rose bush that are partially matured, often taken in late summer to early autumn. Cuttings should be about 4 to 6 inches (approximately 10 to 15 centimeters) long, with several sets of leaves. They are then trimmed just below a leaf node and the lower leaves are removed. To encourage rooting, the cut end is often dipped in rooting hormone before being placed in a well-draining soil mix. The cutting must be kept moist until roots have developed, which typically takes a few weeks. After rooting, the new plants can be gradually acclimated to outside conditions and planted into the garden.
