NOAtraum – deep pink Flower Carpet® groundcover rose
If You want a rose that simply works in an Irish garden, NOAtraum Flower Carpet® is a reliably easy, low‑growing choice that covers soil with a dense, glossy green carpet and months of vivid deep pink blossoms. Its spreading habit quickly fills awkward spots and softens edges, ideal where You need tidy planting that copes well with our rain and heavier soils while still appreciating reasonable drainage. Bred for health, this ADR‑certified groundcover offers strong disease resistance and needs only light trimming to stay neat, so You spend more time enjoying and less time working. As an own‑root plant it settles in for the long term, regenerating well after hard pruning and building a stable, balanced structure. Over the first few seasons it focuses on roots, then shoots, and by the third year reaches its full ornamental impact, rewarding beginners and experienced gardeners alike with a durable, low‑maintenance garden feature.

Use cases
Target area
Reason
Front garden groundcover strip along a path or driveway
The spreading, low shrub habit quickly forms a dense living carpet that suppresses weeds and covers bare soil, giving a finished look to paths and drives with only light seasonal trimming, ideal for a busy homeowner
Small group planting in a family front bed
Planting 3–5 bushes together creates a continuous wave of deep pink flowers from early summer onwards; the semi‑double clusters read clearly from the street and stay tidy with minimal deadheading, perfect for a neat‑garden lover
Low maintenance edging to lawns or mixed borders
Its moderate self‑cleaning and compact, sparsely thorned growth make it easy to manage along mowing edges, softening hard lines while avoiding constant pruning, a reassuring choice for a beginner gardener
Urban and high‑traffic public‑facing beds
Selected for professional landscape use, it holds its shape, flowers repeatedly and tolerates heat and reflected sun from hard surfaces, so entrances, driveways and on‑street beds stay colourful with very low input, suiting a time‑pressed owner
Small Irish gardens with heavier, moisture‑retentive soils
Once planted with reasonable drainage, the robust roots knit into the ground and adapt well to typical heavier garden soils, offering stable long‑term cover and dependable flowering without fussy soil improvements, reassuring for a practical gardener
Informal cottage‑style planting with perennials
The long season of medium‑sized blooms pairs beautifully with cottage favourites like delphiniums, anemones or liatris, creating a relaxed yet coherent planting that keeps colour going between perennial peaks, attractive for a romantic‑style fan
Part‑shaded beds near walls or taller shrubs
Its tolerance of partial shade means it can flower well where sun is limited to a few hours daily, filling those in‑between spaces that many roses dislike while maintaining foliage density, helpful for a small‑garden city dweller
Large containers on patios, balconies or paved front yards
In a minimum 40–50 litre container it forms a broad, flower‑laden mound with glossy foliage, turning paved or gravelled spots into welcoming entrances without complicated care routines, ideal for an urban balcony owner
Decorating ideas
Cottage Edge Drift – Line a cottage‑style front path with NOAtraum and interplant clumps of Delphinium and anemones for a soft, romantic look that still stays easy to keep in shape – for lovers of traditional Irish cottage gardens
Urban Carpet Glow – Fill a narrow city front bed with repeated NOAtraum groups to create a low, continuous pink carpet that frames the house entrance without demanding weekly attention – for busy urban homeowners
Family Lawn Border – Use a ribbon of NOAtraum along the lawn edge, backed by hydrangeas or small shrubs, to give a long‑flowering, child‑friendly border with few thorns and simple yearly pruning – for families wanting safe, tidy structure
Container Welcome – Plant one shrub in a 40–50 litre pot by the front door and underplant with trailing thyme or ivy to enjoy season‑long colour and glossy foliage on paving or gravel – for renters and small‑space gardeners
Slope and Bank Softener – Cover a sunny bank with a loose grid of NOAtraum to knit the soil, reduce weeding and turn an awkward slope into a pink, low‑care feature – for gardeners managing tricky levels
Technical cultivar profile
Aspect
Data
Name and registration
Groundcover shrub rose from the Flower Carpet collection. Registered as NOAtraum, also traded as Noatraum Flower Carpet and Heidetraum. Verified premium silver merit rating on pharmarosa.ie.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Werner Noack in Germany from ‘Immensee’ × ‘Amanda’. Introduced after 1990 by Noack Rosen and Anthony Tesselaar Plants, combining landscape performance with home‑garden reliability.
Awards and recognitions
Highly decorated landscape rose: ADR certification 1990, multiple gold medals including L’Haÿ‑les‑Roses, Boskoop, The Hague and Dortmund, Glasgow award, and World Rose Hall of Fame (Weltrose) induction in 2022.
Growth and structure
Low, spreading shrub 40–80 cm high and 100–180 cm wide. Forms dense, glossy dark green foliage with a ground‑covering habit and relatively few thorns, ideal for edging, banks and wide beds.
Flower morphology
Semi‑double, cupped blooms opening fairly flat in clustered inflorescences. Small flowers (about 0.5–1.5 inches) with 13–25 petals, repeating strongly with a generous second flush in season.
Colour and phenology
Base colour rich carmine‑pink; buds dark carmine‑pink, opening vivid deep pink with slightly darker outer petals and paler edges, then lightening towards lilac‑pink. Very good colour retention even in strong summer sun.
Fragrance and aroma
Fragrance is very weak and barely noticeable, so it is chosen primarily for colour, coverage and health rather than scent. Its semi‑double flowers offer only limited appeal for pollinating insects.
Rose hip characteristics
Rose‑hip set is generally sparse due to semi‑double blooms and regular deadheading. When present, hips are small, spherical, about 6–11 mm diameter, coloured orange‑red late in the season.
Resistance and hardiness
Demonstrates strong resistance to major fungal diseases including powdery mildew, black spot and rust. Winter hardy to around −23 to −21 °C (USDA zone 6a, RHS H7), with good heat and moderate drought tolerance.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in sun or light partial shade with reasonable drainage. Space 85–155 cm depending on use; 1.0–1.2 plants/m² for mass cover. Suits groundcover, edging, slopes and urban beds with low maintenance expectations.
NOAtraum offers dense groundcover, repeat deep pink flowering and excellent disease resistance as a long‑lived, own‑root shrub that settles in for years, so You can plant with confidence and simply decide where it will work best.

Information about the videos
The video series is not a “seasonal showcase”, but makes the essence of pharmaROSA® own-root production tangible: how the plant is built, what the root system is like and how the shoots renew themselves. The footage was therefore taken at different times, showing plants at different stages of development, so mixed leaf coverage or differing growth stages may appear in the videos. This is not a “sample” of the batch delivered, but an illustration of how the technology works. The current condition of the rose available to order — typical of the given period and similar to what you can expect to receive in the parcel — is shown at the top of the product page.
