It puts out masses of scarlet-colored flowers from spring to frost. The flowers are semi-double blooms that appear in large clusters.

This is a hard-working shrub that requires little attention from you.
Scarlet Flower is a low-growing shrub, reaching 2 - 3 feet high and spreading to 3 - 4 feet wide. It is a multi-stemmed deciduous shrub with a round, mounded shape It was bred for increased disease resistance and improved heat and humidity tolerance. Use it to edge garden beds, pathways, and property lines, or plant it in large containers for instant curb appeal.
Scarlet Flower Carpet Rose Care
Plant this rose in full sun for best performance, providing it with at least 4 - 5 hours of direct sun. It is not particular about soil type or pH, although it does not tolerate waterlogged soil. Water it regularly during the growing season, and it will develop drought tolerance once the roots are established. Fertilize in the spring with a balanced, slow-release formula, and topdress the root zone with organic compost.
Cut this rose back by one-third of its size in early spring. Remove any dead or broken branches throughout the year to keep the shrub healthy.
Scarlet Flower Carpet Rose Spacing
Space Scarlet flower roses approximately 2 feet apart when planting several to form a dense hedge. Increase the spacing to 3 feet if a gap between plants is desired. For potted roses, choose a wide container at least 24 inches in diameter to accommodate the spread of the roots, and size up every year.

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.
