Flower carpet rose Rumba

Has anyone grown this rose? I'm thinking of planting 3 in a border and any advice would be appreciated.

    Is it definitely called Rumba? Not Amber?

    The only rose I can find on Google called Rumba is a floribunda, not a flower carpet. It's red and yellow.

    Ah I see it now. I've not grown it as it's not my choice of colour.

    I saw it on the Jacques Briant website as I live in France but it's not a flower carpet rose, it's "à fleurs groupées" which means it's a floribunda. I think it's rather pretty. I have ordered from them in the past. The daffodil bulbs were good and the perennials were almost dead on arrival.

    Are you in France? I've ordered roses from Lens, Petales de Rose, Meilland and Promesse des Fleurs. P des Fleurs had mixed results, 3 died and one wasn't the rose I ordered, but 3 are doing really well.

    Just seen, you are in France and I've met you before on this forum.

    Seems as though I need to look again for "proper" flower carpet roses! Thanks anyway
