How to grow ground cover roses – expert advice for abundant low-growing flowers

Ground cover roses in pink and peach in a large garden.

There are many different types of roses, all of them beautiful. Traditional shrub roses, for example, are renowned for bushy growth, filling garden borders with old-fashioned, fragrant flowers. Climbing roses are another option, prized for filling exterior walls and garden fences with brilliant blooms, often reaching great heights. Whatever the shape, size or aspect of your yard, you can find a rose to suit your needs.

Ground cover roses are less well-known than other rose types, but can prove just as impactful and useful when landscaping a yard. Often labeled as procumbent roses, ground cover roses will grow outwards as opposed to upwards, helping to cover the soil in borders and beds.
