he present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of groundcover rose plant bearing miniature blooms, which was originated by my crossing as seed parent the variety known as "Immensee" and as pollen parent the variety known as "Amanda". The varietal denomination of this new rose is "Flower Carpet".

Ploidy:

Triploid

Parentage:

Immensee (shrub, Kordes 1982) × Amanda (floribunda, Bees, 1979)

Notes:

In his column Roses Abroad in the January 1998 issue of the American Rose magazine (pp.16-7), Sean McCann says this rose makes a great candidate for a hanging basket.

In September 1998, the Montreal Botanical Garden (Le Jardin Botanique de Montreal) carried out a survey of its roses' resistance to black spot, powdery mildew and rust. This is one of the outstanding varieties which showed a 0% to 5% infection rate. The data were taken on well-established roses.

In his garden in Norfolk, Robert Wharton, of Whartons Nurseries Ltd., reports the best rose varieties in his garden are: 'Flower Carpet Pink', 'Flower Carpet Sunshine', 'Flower Carpet White', 'The Fairy', 'Arthur Bell', 'Bonica', 'Ballerina' and 'Jacques Cartier'.
