Hooked on… Flower Carpet Roses

I am currently hooked on flower carpet roses, supposedly one of the easiest rose bushes to grow–right up my alley! I fell in love with these picturesque images my husband sent me. I definitely think we will have to make room for some flower carpet roses around our house! To read more about these, click here.

  2. I have one of those, now I want more, more,more….They look lovely. Thanks for sharing!

  3. Oh, I want to live here… What gorgeous photos of a gorgeous house…

  4. These are stunning! I have seen similar in our neighborhood but had no idea they would be easy to grow. They go beautifully with the picket fence look, but would probably look wonderful more or less anywhere.

  5. WOW! Those are amazing. I need some in my yard. I love the rolling hills of color.

  6. Those roses are so lush and beautiful! I can see why you’re hooked!!

  7. These pictures even make me like pink flowers! Wow, these are just gorgeous. The carpet roses are great, and also the Knockout and Double Knockout roses are so gorgeous and very easy to maintain. No chemicals are needed like other roses. Thanks for these fabulous photos!

  13. Spectacular!!! I would love those roses along my driveway — of course I would love that charming little cottage, too!

    What kind of roses are they? Are they called “carpet” and do they bloom all summer? Fabulous looking roses!

  14. Cass – they are called “Flower Carpet” roses. They supposedly have a very long blooming period. Here is the website about them: http://www.tesselaar.com/plants/flowercarpetroses/
