This rose has pretty much lived up to the hype surrounding it. In my garden it is a profuse bloomer that needs little care, It is very disease resistant and flowers continuously through the season. I read somewhere that this rose can produce up to 2,000 blooms per season!

It is a beauty--even with a humble word like "groundcover" in the name.

Beautiful flower and when many of them bloom together, the ground must be looking carpeted.
