Rosa Flower Carpet Gold - Ground cover Rose

The Flower Carpet Gold Rose, classified in the category of ground cover roses, is an excellent rose, naturally disease-resistant as certified by the highly selective German ADR label. It is strong, upright and floriferous and provides an exceptional, almost permanent, decoration which requires very little maintenance. It flowers uninterrupted from May until the first frost with semi-double flowers which are a cheerful, mellow yellow, enhanced by orange stamens. It is popular with urban landscapers, easy, generous and cheerful, well suited for informal mass plantings in gardens with single perennials or shrubs with colourful foliage.

Rosa Flower Carpet Gold, also known as 'Suneva' rose (noalesa), 'Loredo' or 'Jacobs Kronung' was obtained in 1994 by the German rose breeder Reinhard Noack and is classified as a modern, shrub and ground cover rose. Its clustered flowers come from the polyantha rose, an old hybrid derived from Rosa multiflora and Rosa chinensis. The plant forms a very dense bush about 70 to 80 cm (28 to 32in) high and 60 cm (24in) wide, depending on the growing conditions. It is floriferous with an abundance of semi-double flowers with 16 to 25 petals, 3-5 cm (1-2in) in diameter, in a lovely butter yellow, with a soft orange stamen centre. They have a light fragrance and are gathered in small clusters. Its semi-evergreen foliage is very healthy and composed of small, shiny dark green leaves that cover thorny stems. This variety tolerates heat well and adapts to any well-prepared soil.

The Suneva rose can be used in mass plantings, flower beds, large spaces, slopes, or low hedges. It adapts to all soils that are not too wet and all climates, allowing it to be grown almost anywhere. It has well-branched vegetation that works well in low shrub borders or behind a Decorosier variety that is lower, such as Vesuvia, Isalia or Emera. When planted en masse, it can edge pathways and highlight flower beds. For example, it can be paired with perennial geraniums (Geranium Blue Cloud, Anne Folkard, Nimbus, Orion), bellflowers (lactiflora, rapunculoides), catmints, lavenders, snapdragons, foxgloves, or other Stachys. If left to grow freely, it will form a well-groomed but very natural bush, perfect for bringing a ray of sunshine to the terrace.
