Flower Carpet Lipstick Rose (Rosa Flower Carpet® Lipstick) dazzles with large, fragrant blooms in deep red shades, creating a bold and romantic statement in any garden or container. Each semi-double flower embodies an old-world rose charm balanced by modern disease resistance, so you’ll enjoy a continuous display from early spring to frost with minimal care. Reaching a compact height of 2 to 4 feet, this rose grows in a neat, mounded shape that suits borders, foundations, or decorative pots. It’s also exceptionally drought tolerant once established, making it a top pick for easy, season-long color. Whether for a cottage-style path or sunny patio planter, Flower Carpet Lipstick Rose delivers showstopping petals and enchanting fragrance in a robust yet petite package.
Flower Carpet Lipstick Rose showcases glossy green foliage that stands out beautifully against the bright blooms. As part of a newer series of fragrant shrub roses, it marries classic appeal with cutting-edge breeding—meaning fewer worries about common rose diseases or pests. Its hardy nature allows for creative uses: incorporate it into mass plantings for a sea of red, brighten a mixed perennial bed, or line a walkway with lush, mounding elegance. Hardy in zones 5-10, it adapts to varied climates while maintaining reliable performance and continuously producing fresh buds.
Flower Carpet Lipstick Rose Care
Plant Flower Carpet Lipstick Rose in full sun whenever possible, although partial sun is acceptable if it still receives at least five hours of direct light. Provide moderately fertile, well-draining soil, enhanced with organic matter if needed, and water regularly until the plant is well rooted. An all-purpose rose fertilizer applied in early spring, plus another mid-season boost, encourages healthy foliage and abundant blooms. A thin layer of mulch preserves soil moisture, suppresses weeds, and keeps roots cool. Good airflow helps maintain vigor and reduce disease pressure.
Occasional deadheading encourages continual flowering and tidies the overall appearance, but heavy pruning usually isn’t necessary. In late winter or early spring, cut the shrub back to about 10 to 12 inches to promote strong new growth. Container-grown specimens may need more frequent watering and periodic soil refreshment. If buds or blossoms slow down, consider adjusting water and feeding schedules or moving potted roses to a sunnier spot.
Flower Carpet Lipstick Rose Spacing
For a hedge or continuous row, space these roses about 2 to 3 feet apart, allowing each bush enough room to sprawl while still creating a lush, cohesive display. In mass plantings, the same spacing helps form a solid groundcover of blooms. When cultivating in a container, opt for a pot at least 14 inches wide to accommodate the rose’s root system and ensure ample room for healthy growth.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
