Flower Carpet roses / Companion Plants

We all know that plants are dynamic, living things, and because we understand so much about our own plants (we carry out trials around the world) we appreciate the subtle differences regarding their growth and habit.

Which is why it’s worthwhile visiting the section of our site which gives you local information – which plants are available; when it’s best to plant, prune and feed them; tips and so on. It’s all here to help you enjoy them more.

The stunning beauty of Flower Carpet SCARLET

Flower Carpet roses being left alone to do what they do best, just bloom and bloom

Flower Carpet® Roses look great planted with low growing or spreading conifers - particularly those with golden or blue/gray foliage - and dwarf cypresses for height.

For a more formal design try edging your beds of Flower Carpet® Roses with clipped hedges of box.

A soft billowing effect can be obtained with an edging of Nepata (Catnip) whose feathery gray foliage and soft blue flowers are the perfect foil for all the colors of the Flower Carpet® Rose Series.

Plant Flower Carpet® Standard or Tree roses interspersed in your Flower Carpet® Groundcover roses to give additional height and interest to your plantings

A hedge of lavender is a wonderful, fragrant backdrop to a planting of Flower Carpet® roses and can be complimented with an edging of Stachys Byzantium (Lamb’s Ears) to continue the color theme.

Flower Carpet ®Coral roses look stunning placed in front of a planting of Tropicanna® with its purple, orange, raspberry, chartreuse and yellow striped foliage.

Underplant your Flower Carpet® roses with early spring flowering bulbs such as Daffodils and Jonquils. These will provide color when your Flower Carpet® roses have had their annual trimming and will have died down well before your roses burst into bloom in late spring.

Regarding Tropicanna - "I think this multicoloured foliage is gorgeous - subtle and splashy all at the same time".
