Roses Name That Rose!

What flower carpet did I buy?

3 years ago

Dear all, I purchased a flower carpet rose about a month ago at Home Depot. It was labeled "pink supreme." It had one unopened bud that looked solid pink to me. Now that they've started to bloom, I'm not sure if it was correctly labeled. My other flower carpet plants are all solid colors like red, scarlet, or solid pink, so this one is very different from my others. What do you think? Thanks!

My sedums aren't blooming yet, but they were taken from plants just like you said. I stuck them in the dirt and kept them watered. I cut back bee balm, shastas, even my hibiscus. It makes for a fuller plant and lots of blooms. Almost all perennials can tolerate this. Great too for staggering bloom cycles to extend the flowering time. Cut 1/3 of the plant when you see buds. Cut another 1/3 a couple weeks later or just as the buds are opening. Leave 1/3 to bloom as normal. It also staggers the height and helps hold up the tallest stalks that weren't cut back.

It is an Exacum Persian Violet commnnly known as a German violet. Sometimes they have an aroma and other times they are sterile and have no smell. Linda

From what read, those peppers originate from Africa - Angola and thereabouts. Since Angola was a Portuguese colony, they found their way into their cuisine. I saw nothing about Spain, although I've no doubt it is likely eaten there near the Portugal border. I spent time in Madrid and Pamplona - nothing like that there. They sound great. I'm sure my husband would love that chicken!

it really depends on how you train and prune it... I tie it on my fence so it’s like a climber. 6 to 8 ft wide I estimate. It’s messy when it’s not blooming... tbh am not sure if I like this rose

Ahh .... that’s why I thought “ that’s Appleblossom; no, that’s not Appleblossom” upon seeing this.

I keep thinking I can fit a real climber at this location in stead of the carpet rose, but the path is narrow already. might Not be enough space :(

It's pretty against your fence. But if it's ugly during the dormant season, I'll prune it hard every winter.

Have you had problems with spotting? I'm starting to notice some at the bottom inner leaves of the plant. Somewhat disappointed as this was touted to be highly resistant.

the disease resistant is better than average but I do notice PM during winter and spring. It doesn’t require spray in my garden.
