Drift® Rose is a compact, low-growing shrub rose that produces clusters of petite blooms from mid-spring to mid-fall. This dwarf groundcover rose stays 1-2 feet tall and spreads 2-3 feet wide, making it ideal for small gardens, borders, pathways, and containers. The glossy dark green foliage has excellent disease resistance. With a useful groundcover growth habit that never gets leggy, this rose stays low and spreads wide while maintaining a tidy, compact appearance.

An excellent repeat bloomer all growing season long, Drift® Roses naturally drop their spent blooms, reducing the need for deadheading. Hardy in USDA Hardiness Zones 5-10 (some varieties 4-11), these roses are pest and disease resistant, making them a carefree shrub option. Drift® Roses are a hybrid between full-size groundcover roses and miniature roses, combining the best traits of both parent plants.

Plant in a location with at least 6-8 hours of full sun daily. Water deeply at the base 1-2 times per week, increasing frequency during dry periods. Prune in late winter or early spring, cutting back to 6-8 inches to encourage healthy growth. Fertilize with a balanced rose fertilizer after the first bloom cycle, avoiding late summer fertilization to prevent tender growth before frost. The #2 container size (7.571 liters) provides an established root system ready for transplanting or container gardening.
