Where can I purchase the “roll out the red carpet” roses that you talk about in the June 2015 issue of Kentucky Living? Somewhere local if possible.
The Gardener’s Answer
Carpet roses are a great addition to any sun loving garden. Flower Carpet is a patented name sold by Monrovia. Within this series of roses there are several named roses. The business of naming plants can be confusing, and, just to be clear, the name is not “roll out the red” but simply Flower Carpet Red Groundcover Rose. Scarlet is another reddish rose in this series. As of June 16, Beaten Nursery and Greenhouse in Union had them in stock. I’m sure they would hold them for you if you want to call; their phone number is 859-384-4769. According to Monrovia’s website, these roses may also be available at Holscher & Hackman Plant Farm and/or Cassinelli’s Glendale Nurseries.
