Saw this beautiful rose bush while out walking today. It is absolutely covered in buds. Does anyone know the name of it please.

    It looks like one of the Flower Carpet series to me but not sure which one.
    North East Somerset - Clay soil over limestone

    I did wonder that LB, but this was such a big shrub 😞

    Yes I think a Flower Carpet type.   There is one called 'Wiltshire' that looks similar.  Is the garden in Wiltshire by any chance?...

    No Marlorena, it's in Sussex.

    Just googled Wiltshire Flower carpet rose......much pinker than the one I saw. The one yesterday was peachy pink. And almost 4ft tall.

    ahh well, you'll have to wait until it's in full bloom, then it's easier to identify.. not quite enough blooms on it right now really...


    This is 'Wiltshire' as I know it...  they often grow larger than stated..

    Ooh, just looked at that one Marlorena, that's different to the one I googled. And you could be right🤗 I've book marked it, will keep that in mind and take a few more pics in a few weeks time......excuse for a walk past 😉 Thank you.
