Flower Carpet Amber Rose

Flower Carpet Amber Rose (Rosa x 'NOA97400A')

Flower Carpet Amber Rose is a low, spreading landscape rose that quickly fills space with months of color and a clean, finished look. Soft red buds open to peachy amber, orange-yellow blooms that gradually fade toward soft pink, so the display stays lively as new and older flowers mix together. It blooms repeatedly from spring through fall, making it easy to keep borders and slopes looking maintained without constant work. If you want a groundcover rose that performs in real-world conditions and still looks polished up close, this is a strong choice.

Distinctive Features

This groundcover rose forms a dense, low-mounding plant with a broad spread, creating a carpet effect that covers soil and softens edges. The semi-double flowers appear in abundant clusters, showing peachy amber to orange-yellow tones that age to soft pink with a blush of peach for a naturally blended look. Blooms are lightly fragrant and the foliage is glossy, dark green, giving the plant a tidy, high-contrast finish through the growing season. Mature size is typically about 2 to 3 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide.

Growing Conditions

• Sun: Full sun is best for heavy flowering, with 6 or more hours of direct light each day.
• Soil: Plant in fertile, well-drained soil, and improve heavy soils with organic matter for best results.
• Water: Water deeply during establishment, then water during dry spells, allowing the top few inches of soil to dry slightly between soakings.
• USDA Zones: Zones 4 to 10.
• Spacing: Space plants to allow airflow and let the spreading habit knit together into broad coverage.

Ideal Uses

• Focal Point: Use as a focal point in a low, sunny bed where a wide ribbon of shifting amber-to-pink blooms can define the space.
• Groundcover Masses: Plant in groups to create a continuous carpet of bloom that reads well from a distance.
• Slopes and Banks: Spreading growth is well-suited to hillsides where you want coverage and long-season color.
• Front Borders: Keeps the front edge of beds neat with a low profile that does not block other plantings.
• Containers: Works well in larger containers where clustered blooms and light fragrance can be enjoyed up close.

Low Maintenance Care

• Pruning: Cut back in late winter to early spring to refresh growth and maintain a dense, uniform mound.
• Deadheading: Light cleanup improves tidiness, but repeat bloom remains strong even with minimal deadheading.
• Watering: Water at the base to keep foliage drier and reduce disease pressure during humid weather.
• Feeding: Fertilize in spring and again after the first bloom flush to support continuous flowering.
• Mulching: Mulch to conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and protect roots through temperature swings.
