Perennials: Carpet rose info, 1 by Sherrygirl

I am still working on my island bed in the front yard. It's the very front of the bed that I'm trying to figure out what I want to plant. I am trying to plant more perennials in the front of the bed to replace the petunias I usually put in the front. But I am looking for something with a long bloom time. I have already added some dwarf monarda and scabiosa. It already has many other plants in the rest of the bed. I was reading on flower carpet roses and it says they bloom all summer. Was wondering if anyone has any experience with the carpet roses and if they really bloom all summer. Pictures would be great too if you have them!
Thanks for your input.
Here's part of the bed now in the early spring.
