How Many Flower Carpet Rose Plants Do I Need?
Comments (24)Your parterre sounds so lovely! I have a suggestion for the roses that you can find in Europe but not so well here any more. They are the Poulsen groundcover series that was called Towne & Country roses. I have grown two of them for years (Pebble Beach and Natchez), and they are very special groundcovers, imho. You can definitely cut them shorter and they will still bloom profusely. The foliage is miniature and perfect! They bloom in a ton of shade for anyone who needs that, which I do. The flowers aren't as big as the ones you are considering, though. They are very charming and just great roses, so I thought I'd mention them. The effect is like a miniature version of The Fairy. The names used vary, so check them out on Help Me Find. I'd probably check for Poulsen groundcover roses at any nursery you are considering and look them up to see if they are part of this series, because the marketing on these seems all over the map. More in the series whose names I remember: http://www.helpmefind.com/gardening/l.php?l=2.3840.4 http://www.helpmefind.com/gardening/l.php?l=2.24749.3 They spread sideways but no so much up. Groundcovers like to get very tall here, so the low growth is nice. They are just the best roses!

Comments (2)From a Google search on it I got 8-12 as the average and many pictures of a stem in bloom and lots of videos about how to use it. Good old Google! Found several references about "to taste" which doesn't help I know but LOTS of info on avoiding using too much as it "makes it taste like perfume" and repeated references to "just a hint" of flavor as the goal. Sounds like your taste tester has work cut out for her. :) Dave PS: also ran across this Lavender Jelly recipe which specifies amount of flowers. Might be a good starting point.

Comments (1)I'd get it in some morning sun with afternoon protection. It's perfectly normal for a bloom to start off green but to stay green for a month signals a problem. Is your soil too alkaline? Perhap you need to acidify it a bit.....yg...See Moresorie6 zone 6b
