Magic Carousel is a hybrid miniature shrub rose in the rose family (Rosaceae) bred by Ralph Moore of the United States in 1972. Parentage is Little Darling x Westmont.

The 1-2-inch-wide flowers are white to cream with red-pink edging and fully double with 26-40 petals. It has little to no fragrance and reliably reblooms in flushes throughout the season. Small glossy leathery foliage is on stems with prickles.
