More about Ground Cover roses:
Ground Cover Roses basically describes roses of stature that are wider than they are tall. They are sometimes called Procumbent Roses. Some are truly ground hugging whereas others are bushier. Newer varieties are more remontant. Most are excellent landscaping roses but few prove useful for weed suppression.
Clear Cover, a.k.a. Athens Cover, is a fairly prostrate growing yellow ground cover rose with masses of small, semi-double yellow flowers, which carry a lovely wild rose scent. It has very healthy dark shiny foliage, and is fairly continuous flowering from June-November, which make it a fabulous choice for adding some sunny colouring to a border.
Pruning Guide: Can be left unpruned until established. In subsequent years, prune to suit when dormant in the winter months. Large scale plantings can be tackled with a hedge trimmer.
