Ground Cover Roses

Q: How Do You Prune Groundcover Roses?

Start by trimming groundcover roses when you see growth in March. Try to cut back healthy shoots by one-third and side shoots by two buds. If your low growing roses start to become difficult to manage, cut them down to within 8 inches of the ground. Typically, the roses have a positive response to this.

Ground cover roses come in various colors and forms, from our Rainbow Happy Trails to our Red Ribbons, and are perfect for covering large stretches of empty ground. Whether it be a slope or a rocky area, our low-growing groundcover roses will make the area feel like another part of your beautiful at-home garden.

The colour, size, and bloom form of groundcover roses will vary, depending on the variety—some are even delightfully fragrant. The smaller forms are perfect for window boxes and hanging containers, where the canes will spill over the sides. Minimal maintenance is required, so you can also plant them in areas that are hard to reach and enjoy a traffic-stopping floral display from spring through fall!

What are Ground Cover Roses?

Groundcover roses are a low-maintenance option perfect for covering large areas. They are disease-resistant, offer extensive blooming periods, and can thrive in various soil types. Ground cover roses typically have a low, spreading habit which makes them ideal for covering larger areas without overwhelming the garden's design. These plants grow horizontally rather than vertically, providing an extensive carpet of blooms.
