Overview
Magic Carpet is a groundcover rose from Jackson & Perkins, introduced in 1993. It has mauve-blend flowers with a light scent. The plant grows low and wide, to about 0.75 m tall and 1.2 m across, so it suits banks, the edge of a border or the rim of a large container. It was given the RHS Award of Garden Merit in 2002. Useful for gardeners who want roses to cover the ground rather than grow upright.
