Some roses grow so close to the ground that they’re often used as groundcovers. Most of these low growers bloom continuously throughout the summer. Some, such as the white flowering ‘Kent’, spread though low arching branches, while others, such as the pink flowering ‘Nozomi’, spread close the ground and root as they grow. They are generally easy to grow and maintain, needing only light pruning. These low growing roses are ideal for growing on embankments, over walls or at the front of a shrub border. There are a number of great roses to use as groundcovers. Some of the most vigorous and beautiful variety include: ’Avon’, ’Berkshire’, ‘Blenheim’, ‘Pink Bells‘, ‘Red Trail‘ and ‘Suffolk’.
