There are many deciduous, evergreen and semi-deciduous roses that are used as groundcovers, usually reaching 2' in height and could spread 8', depending on variety. They look lovely draping a slope or in a large container. Rosa groundcovers come in a variety of colors but all need full sun and a moderate amount of water and more during hot summer months. Roses also need well draining, fertile soil.
