Ground cover roses
Comments (12)hi, Mary, I enjoyed looking at your garden pictures; your landscaping is pretty. I don't know any OGR's to use as a groundcover, but I grow Seafoam and like it, although many don't because it's thorny. The out of the way area Sea Foam is in is heavily mulched with pine needles. I have Baby Blanket too, and like the healthy foliage and pink blossoms; I grow it in a pot, though as a very small climber. One I've read some about is White Meidiland and would probably try that one if I wanted another white ground cover rose. Here is a link to a garden site of an Alabama gardener, Phillip Oliver, that has pictures of both the white Meidiland and Sea Foam. Hermosa is doing well for me; she's still blooming and has all her leaves. I have fed it a lot this summer and maybe that made a difference. I hope you find what you're looking for, Gean Here is a link that might be useful: white meidiland and seafoam...See MoreShort ground cover herb?

Comments (29)I thought I would share how I am spreading my woodland violets around the garden. I have them planted in an 10" shallow clay pot that sits in a round plastic tray. I keep the tray filled with water at this time of year. With frequent fertilizing, (I foliar feed with water soluable stuff mixed half strength.) it grows out of the pot and onto the ground. There it will root itself after a while. I then trim around the pot to cut the rooted strands away from the potted plant and then move the whole shebang to the next area. I have a great patch under Clytemnestra and now Miss Atwood is getting the treatment....See MoreRecommendations for most floriferous ground cover roses
Comments (22)Diane - You’re welcome! Very impressive with regard to your Golden Celebration and Boscobel. They’ve always been on my long list of roses to try but I think I might have to move them to my shorter more immediate list! My husband loves yellows so GC could be just right. Also, I’m super glad to hear how pleased you are with Apricot Drift since groundcover roses are my immediate next project and why I started this thread. I have Red drift and two Pink Drifts in my front yard and I’m looking to plant out the backyard in ground cover roses. I’m looking for the most floriferous and continuous blooming ground cover. roses and was trying to decide between drifts, carpets and meidilands. To me my drifts could look better, sometimes look a little weedy and scraggly. It could just be me, as I neglect them and pay all my attention to my genuine rose garden. Perhaps they just need a bit more sun, some TLC and a trim back....See MoreRelated Professionals
