Well, I'm sure there's someplace you can order them from online, but I recently bought the red and pink one from Lowes. I've seen them at quite a few nurseries in the past. From what I understand, they are taller than you would think a groundcover rose would be, but they're wider than they are tall. Below is a link to HMF which show the different ones.

I see them at Wally World.

I got some lovely ones from Jackson & Perkins two years ago in red and white

Well if they're at Lowe's and Walmart, that's where I'll get 'em!

I was thinking of hitting up Walmart again; the cheap Blaze climbers I got there this spring are doing fine.

Jackson & Perkins sell them, as well as Home Depot and Lowe's.

I'm in TN and purchased a pink flower carpet rose from Lowes 8 years ago. It is about 2 feet high by 4 feet wide. Planted in semi shade, it never gets much attention from me as it doesn't need any spraying and I forget to fertilize it. Usually has one good flush with sporadic repeat. For a no fuss rose I prefer the knockout series personally but then mine doesn't look like the beautiful photos shown in the prior post.

Man if I get one and it grows 4' or 8' wide I'd be VERY happy.

Dunno if I"ll have enough sun for that. I'll find out how much the trimming helped when I get home today.

I'm trying the new flavor, Flower Carpet Scarlet. It is a bright scarlet - to my eye, about the color of a male cardinal (bird). Flower Carpet Red is a darker color - more of a wine red than harryshoe's photo appears on my monitor. FC Scarlet is only supposed to get about 3' wide and not quite that tall. We'll see about that. Landscapers have planted FC Red at the local Dunkin' Donuts. It looks great there and is about 3' x 4' tall.

The FC Scarlet looks really good so far, although the 2 plants I have are babies. Took off very quickly. Foliage is gorgeous with no disease. I like the color and bloom form much better than Knockout. I am betting that it blooms more than Home Run would. It is more double than FC Red. Here's a link to show the different FC roses including FC Scarlet. Scarlet was awarded an ADR and scored very high in those trials,according to the publicity.

The scarlet does look great. I'll see what the stores have in stock.

Do you know how high do those carpet roses get. Im looking for something that is close to the ground and Im wondering if they are to high. I love the red.

Judging how high these roses get is not simple. They seem to grow upward and produce a spray. As the flowers form, their weight causes the cane to fall over and spread.

I have Appleblossom Flower Carpet and it gets about 18 inches high for me. It is in part shade though.

Thanks seil, most plants have a maxium height. Thats more the height Im looking for. Ill look it up.Thanks

I have 3 white ones and bought them just fill some gaping spaces. Didn't get them b/c I was dying for them...just wanted something white and useful. Planted them in a row with my 2 gourmet popcorn bushes in between and i must say I love them. So far they really fail to disappoint. I have them in full sun, clay soil and in an area I don't get to water but every few days. They look just like the site. I got them from Home Depot in the beginning of this spring and were well worth $8 a piece. Have already doubled in size and while ALL of my roses took a beating from thrips and spider mites this year...the carpet roses have been bugless!

I'm also wondering about the height of the Scarlet type. I have a small & narrow front yard that's about 15/20 feet from the front of my porch to the sidewalk. Because of the narrowness I don't want anything taller than 2 to 2.5 ft. I've planted about 15 Scarlet's so far and they are growing and blooming like crazy. They send a cane about 2 to 3 ft out from the plant. I've taken some sod staples and used them to bend down the canes so they will grow sideways instead of up. Anybody know anything about their height?

I have roseberry basket from J&P which seems similar. They do get wide, but only about 18 inches high, but I do cut them back after blooming.

I have Flower Carpet Appleblossom. If I got another Flower Carpet I would get the Red or the newer Scarlet.

I've been growing Flower Carpet for about 8 years. Coral was my favorite until someone gave me one of the new Scarlet Flower Carpets as a gift. it's even bigger and brighter. The Japanese beetles or deer don't even bother it. Heard there's one called Amber out this year - hoping I can find one.

Flower Carpet Roses can be found at Wal-Mart and Home Depot... I just planted 9 bushes today!
