Bring season-long color to your beds and borders with Rosa 'Flower Carpet- Yellow' (Rose 'Flower Carpet- Yellow'), a compact, spreading landscape rose that shines with cheerful yellow blooms. You can use it to edge a walkway, soften a slope, or create a low ribbon of color where you want dependable flowering without constant fuss.
Give your rose plenty of light for best bloom, with full sun ideal and part shade acceptable in hotter sites. Plant it in well-drained soil and water deeply after planting. During the first growing season, keep the root zone evenly moist while the plant establishes; once settled, water when the top few inches of soil begin to dry. A 2-3 inch layer of mulch helps hold moisture and keeps the root zone cooler, but keep mulch pulled back from the canes.
At a mature size around 24 inches tall, this rose works well in mass plantings and in mixed beds with perennials and ornamental grasses. Allow room for its spreading habit, and avoid crowding it tightly against other shrubs so air can move through the foliage. If you are growing in a container, choose a pot with drainage and water more frequently, since containers dry out faster than garden soil.
For routine care, prune in late winter or early spring to shape the plant and remove dead or crossing stems. Feed lightly in spring and again after the first flush of bloom if your garden benefits from it, and keep an eye out for spent blooms and fallen leaves so the plant stays tidy. With basic sun, water, and seasonal pruning, you will have a reliable landscape rose that keeps your garden bright for months.
