If you're in the Zone...that is 'Zone 5'...try the Pink Flower Carpet Rose...

The Pink Flower Carpet Rose, another show stopper. The plump buds on this Carpet Rose open to a beautiful iridescent pink with a white center. Too bad... this plant has no fragrance.

Usually 18 flowers per cluster. Glossy green foliage. Grows 24"-32" tall (60cm). I bet this plant looks great in containers.

Plant in full sun to get the best result in blooms.

Keep well-fed (only in the spring) and remember to add organic matter to the soil.

Water regularly. A mature bush can produce up to 2,000 flowers per season once established. Do not let the plant sit in water. It will rot.

Deadheading is not required (they self clean), nor is spraying for powdery mildew or black spot.

Should aphids attack, simply spray with insecticidal soap or like me and use your hand and a garden hose.
