Description

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.

Move turf away form sidewalks and pavement.

Instead plant shrubs or groundcovers next to the pavement, and water with low-flow drip or bubbler system to eliminate runoff from turf sprinklers
