WaterThe Flower Carpet Rose, commonly known as Groundcover Rose, requires consistent moisture but it's important to avoid overwatering. During the growing season, water it deeply once a week, making sure to soak the root zone. This might equate to around 1 to 2 gallons per plant, depending on soil type and climate conditions. If experiencing extreme heat, increase the frequency to twice a week. Reduce watering in the winter when the plant is dormant. Always check the top inch of soil for dryness before watering again to prevent waterlogging.
LightThe Flower Carpet Rose thrives in full sun, meaning it needs at least six hours of direct sunlight each day. The ideal spot would be in an open area where it can receive unfiltered sunlight throughout the day. Avoid planting it in deep shade as that will reduce its vigor and flowering capability.
TemperatureFlower Carpet Roses prefer moderate temperatures and can generally survive in USDA zones 5 through 10. They can tolerate minimum winter temperatures down to -20°F and enjoy summer temperatures that do not consistently exceed 90°F. The ideal growing temperatures range between 60°F and 70°F for optimal growth and flowering.
PruningPruning Flower Carpet Roses is necessary to maintain their shape and to encourage blooming. Prune in late winter or early spring, cutting back the plant by one-third to one-half its size. Remove any dead or diseased wood, and thin out crowded areas to improve air circulation. The best time for a hard prune is when the plant is dormant, just before the last expected frost.
CleaningAs needed
SoilFor the Carpet Rose, create a well-draining soil mix with loam, compost, and aged manure to enrich; maintain soil pH between 6.0 and 7.0 for optimal growth.
RepottingCarpet Roses are typically garden plants and do not require frequent repotting; however, refresh their garden soil every 2-4 years to maintain vigor.

Life cycleThe Flower Carpet White rose, also known as Rosa 'Noaschnee' (GC), begins its life cycle when a seed germinates in spring. Upon germination, a seedling emerges and develops into a young plant with foliage. As the rose plant matures, it enters the vegetative stage where it grows leaves, stems, and roots while storing energy for flowering. Once matured, the plant enters the flowering stage, producing clusters of white blooms that are recurrent from late spring until fall. After pollination, roses can produce hips (seed pods), although Flower Carpet roses are often grown as ornamental plants without focusing on seed production. The plant then either enters dormancy during the winter months in cold climates or continues its growth cycle in milder climates.
PropogationPropogation time
Spring-Early Summer
The Flower Carpet White rose, also known as 'Noaschnee', is most commonly propagated through softwood cuttings, a practice ideally performed in late spring or early summer when the plant's new growth is still soft and flexible. To propagate, a gardener should select a healthy stem with at least three leaves and cut it at a 45-degree angle just below a leaf node, about 5-6 inches (12-15 centimeters) long. The lower leaves should be removed, and the cut end may be dipped in rooting hormone to encourage root development. The cutting is then planted in a pot filled with a mix of peat and perlite or sand to provide adequate drainage, ensuring at least two leaf nodes are buried in the soil medium. The pot should then be placed in a warm, bright location out of direct sunlight and kept moist until roots have developed, which typically takes several weeks. This method enables the grower to produce new plants that are genetically identical to the parent plant, preserving its desirable traits.
