Rose Flower Carpet Pink

Rose Flower Carpet Pink

Rose Flower Carpet Pink.  Flower Carpet ground cover Roses grows to 70cm in height and spread about 60-90cm. For instant impact plant 2 to 3 plants per square metre. Very healthy growing Rose with natural disease resistance.
Flower Carpet Pink is one of the best in this group of roses the flowers, (semi-double), really stand out a real talking point in your garden.  Flowers from June to October but in my own garden flowers right up to February.  To maintain best shape prune the Rose back to 15cm (6 inches) in March but you do not have to prune the plant will grow and flower away each year above glossy green shiny leaves.
If you only have one Rose in your garden this is the one the Flower Carpet series. 
Plant is sent out bareroot direct from the field.  Field grown Roses are the best as roots are better formed and will grow away more quickly.
Mulch your roses after planting leaving a gap of about 3 inch away from the main stem with well rotted farm manure or garden compost. 
(Word of warning re Farmyard Manure - Make sure you get geninue farmyard manure from cows that eat hay not silage.  Silage fed cows the manure produced is high in toxic effulent which will burn and kill plants.)
Roses are very hungry plants so start feeding early from Mid-February with a good Rose Fertiliser like "TopRose" apply 4oz per plant spread the fertiliser 3-4 inches away from main stem of Rose and fork in lightly.  This will allow the fertiliser to get washed down into the base of the Rose in time for when the plants need the feed from April onwards it takes time for fertiliser to travel in the soil especially if a heavy soil which Roses like.  Then start liquid feeding the Roses when you see the first leaf buds opening each week up to flower bud stage with a good high Potash fertiliser like "Tomato Fertiliser" give each plant one gallon (4.55 litres) of mixed up liquid feed.
Then in June give another topdressing of TopRose fertiliser.
If you follow these instructions you will have very healthy plants with masses of flowers, healthy plants will produce more flowers than poor plants lacking feed.  A good sign of poor feed in Roses is small black dots on the leaves like pepperdust sprinkled over the leaves.  Not to be confused by Black Spot which is much larger blothches and is a fungal problem.
