Notes
'Flower Carpet Scarlet' rose (Rosa 'Flower Carpet Scarlet') is a shrub for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun to part shade and average to moist soil of most types. The medium red blooms open in spring, summer, and autumn and attract butterflies and bees. Reinhard Noack bred it in 2000. Its spreading habit fills space with dark green leaves.
Pairs well with Superba clustered bellflower, Ann Folkard crane's-bill, and Madonna lily.
