I have decided to join the blogging craze. I am looking forward to taking a moment to find out a little more about the plants I have been photographing. I hope to explore all aspects of plants, flowers, trees and other garden related topics. Sorry about having to watermark the photos but there are a lot of people using them without permission.

‘Flower Carpet Red’ Rose
‘Flower Carpet Red’ Rose for Ruby Tuesday
While wandering around the nursery yesterday I came upon this red rose. It was a little strange since it had been grown on a standard and into a little tree. I thought these roses were for ground covers. Recently ‘Flower Carpet White’ was posted here. These are good performing roses that are hardy and for the most part trouble free.
Class: Floribunda, Shrub.
Bred By: Werner Noack, Germany (1986)
Petal Count: Semi-double (9-16 petals)
Fragrance: None
Parentage: Seed: 'Irish Wonder' × 'Paprika' (floribunda, Tantau, 1957)
Pollen: 'Flower Carpet'

So pretty. Great photo!
Your photos are always so gorgeous and this one is no exception!
Lovely rose and lovely colour. My garden is overflowing with old fashioned pink ones at the moment. What is more beautiful and delicate than a rose?!
Flowers seem to be a very popular topic today. Lovely shot. I have four of these plants in our front yard and they are just filled with blooms. Have a great Ruby Tuesday.
I love the sweet unopened blooms.
Gee, Digital Flower, I took in a sharp breath when I saw this perfect rose! What a gorgeous post for Ruby Tuesday! You always do such a magnificent job! :)
