    Ive had this rose for 3 years now. It's about the same color as Flower Carpet Pink, but a few tones more dull. The name is ironic lol.

    Its a little bit more lanky than Flower Carpet Pink, but grows and blooms just as well. Foliage isn't quite as large or shiny. A little more slim.

    While I wont get rid of it since it grows well underneath a very mature Japanese Maple and it's better than weeds, I wouldn't recommend it over other groundcovers. Electric Blanket, for example, is a cute pink groundcover. There are just better options, I think.

    I bought it from Ashdown some years ago. The alternative name on the original tag is Sweet Vigorosa

    Hi, if you look on the main (first tab) of any plant listing, the name is listed in the heading and the various synonyms are listed just below the "Availability:" section.
