Bunches of slightly fragrant, double, deep yellow flowers appear from July to September amongst masses of lustrous green leaves. Great for any space or planted container. During the long flowering season there's no need for deadheading. The flower carpet is a shrub type of rose bush with repeat-flowering. It’s vigorous and disease-resistant, perfect for discouraging invasive annual weeds. Cut back to a third of its size in late winter or early spring.
Planting Instructions:
Flower Carpet Rose Velvet grows best in full sun with fertile, composted, moist but well-drained soil. Holes should be about 12-15" deep and mix a handful or two of sudden impact into the soil removed from the hole. Place your rose in the hole with branches just above the soil line and back fill with the soil you removed. Pack the soil well around the roots, tapping down carefully. This ensures that the main roots have direct access to soil so small feeder roots can develop quickly. Make sure there is adequate drainage; roses must never sit in waterlogged soil. After planting, water your rose well to settle the soil around the roots. Water regularly during the flowering season if the weather is warm or dry. Planting in triangles or odd numbers encourages depth and colour to a border.
For containers you will need good soil and compost with slow release fetilizer. Containers will need regular feeds of liquid feeds. A good trick is add a layer of stones at the base of the container to seperate any excess water from the soil if there are no holes on the container.
Aftercare:
Flower Carpet Rose Red Velvet will prosper when your soil uses compost. A layer of compost with fertilizer in the autumn will help to maintain soil moisture in the spring and summer. A good choice is John Innes multi compost. Flower Carpet Roses Amber develop buds in late spring and continue to bloom through the fall. A mid summer application of rose fertilizer helps keep blossom in bloom for the duration of the summer. Blooming finishes for the season when the weather turns cold. Any sign of insect attack spray with rose clear. Wait for the rose to lose all its foilage and is dormant until you apply fertilizer for the coming spring or it will encourage new growth. This rose is very tolerant to pruning, this is best done in early spring to avoid removing flower buds.
