Ground cover roses have a spreading habit growing wider than they are tall. This makes them ideal for planting on banks or scrambling over tree trunks. Once established they control weeds by effectively smothering them.

The compact mound forming varieties look great in patio pots or hanging baskets and are equally at home in the front of a mixed border. All repeat flower continuously from July to November. They require no pruning - if they do out-grow their allotted space they can simply be trimmed with shears or hedge cutters.
