Ground cover roses are flat-growing, flat-spreading rose varieties , which are usually propagated from cuttings "rootless". In the planting, runners with new roots naturally arise, which increase the density of the planting - without disturbing "wildlings" - as they are known from the drifting roots of grafted roses.
The use of roses as ground cover is a relatively new development. Robust, low-growing varieties that require intensive care and whose shoots and leaves tightly cover the ground are well suited. In recent years, ground cover roses have increasingly been planted as an easy-care, often permanent flower arrangement for larger areas in public facilities. The individual rose varieties can of course also be used in small gardens and as individual plants.
