The flowers are lovely and prolific, and bloom is continuous. However, they are not self-cleaning---the petals hang on long after they turn brown.

In Zone 6b Rhode Island, after some years this cultivar's lax branches have mounded up on each other to form a haystack 6 ft high and wide, covered with small glossy healthy foliage, showing no black spot without any spraying.

This is often referred to as a groundcover rose, but it isn't a groundcover as most gardeners understand the term. It hasn't stopped perennial and woody weeds---including pokeweed, Asiatic bittersweet, porcelain vine, bittersweet nightshade, and rose-of-sharon---from germinating underneath and growing up through it. but in that respect it differs little from other "groundcover roses".

A true groundcover rose! Mine is prospering on a gravel/clay slope (it is mulched) and is already (in its second or third year) covering a 6'x7' area at least. Doesn't show signs of stopping; if the other roses planted nearby weren't equally tough and potentially rampant I might be afraid for them!

This rose is hard-working, long blooming and as disease resistant as they come. I have it in a very hot area where it gets blasted with sun all summer long next to the sidewalk. It does not quit blooming, going strong all the way till frost. The blooms are a deep rich red, and do not fade. The leaves are glossy and healthy. It stays low; about 18" -24". It does get broad, however, 4' or even 5' at maturity. A true groundcover rose.
