Could you please tell us what part of the state you are in? That helps
alot, I have tried the carpet roses, they lived three years in mild
winters and went toes up after a harsh no-snow-cover winter.
Thanks,
Sue

I have 5 Flower Carpet, 4 pink and 1 white. They seem to be getting
larger each year. I have had them about 6 years. They are now looking
like a carpet. There is no deadheading and they bloom all summer.
I am very satisfied with mine.

I did not buy any of the Carpet roses but I remember how there was
a
huge flush of marketing for them seemed like someone had spent alot
of
money on ads etc. and not any info on the actual hardiness of them
and
from my recollection many were lost thru the winter. As MG all we
could speak on was the great advertising but new nothing more about
them. I still see them out there in the nurseries but not like it
was
from the beginning.
Maybe I'm all wet here and out of line. Any of you rosarians have
any
comments and actual experience.
It's a known phenomenon to have introduction put out before the
trials
are done sometimes. It is a lengthy and costly process to breed and
trial plants and then introduce them. Sometimes some of the steps
get
cut short or eliminated.
Is there less of a chance for that to happen when it is a University
Introduction as opposed to a nursery introduction? I wonder.
