Flower carpet roses are a huge advance in disease resistance and flowering rose breeding over the past few years with, I am told, nearly 90 million sold around the world over the past decade. The Brisbane Botanic Gardens has trialled each of the new series with flowers ranging from burgundy to light red, white, yellow and now, a new amber. These roses do incredibly well in cool temperate climates. I have seen them growing and even flowering in the US in 30cm of snow and they grow just as well in southeast Queensland. - R.M., Queensland, Australia Even more widely grown in southern states, the flower carpet roses are used extensively on highway median strips and roundabouts but have also taken home gardens by storm. Pruned with a chainsaw, flowering for up to nine months and always covered in brilliant green, shiny, glossy leaves - flower carpet roses are one of the longest flowering plants in southeast Queensland gardens."
