From finegardening.com:

Polyanthas are celebrated for their profuse clusters of flowers that are produced in waves from late spring or early summer until fall. They are compact and disease-resistant, making them ideal for borders or hedges, and for growing en masse as a groundcover.

What I like best about this type of rose is its resistant to many common problems like blackspot, mildew and rust. Plus the stems are almost tornless.
