DRIFT & GROUNDCOVER ROSES

Drift Roses are the great choice for small gardens. They are repeat-bloomers that are tough, disease resistant, winter hardy and virtually main­tenance free. Drift Roses are a cross between full-size groundcover roses and miniature roses. From the former, they kept toughness, disease resistance and winter hardiness. From the minia­tures, they inherited their well-managed size and repeat-blooming nature. Continuously bloom­ing from spring to frost, they are naturally dwarf, with attractive foliage. Winter hardy to Zone 5. Prune back to 4” in early spring (after the last hard frost) for best performance. Regular dead­heading encourages re-blooming.

'Apricot Drift.' Double apricot colored flowers begin in spring and display a season long show of color. Grow 1’-2’ tall and spread 2’-3’.

‘Peach Drift’. Peach drift is one of the most floriferous dwarf shrubs available. Soft apricot-salmon blooms cover the plant from mid-spring to the first hard freeze. The mature plants are approxi­mately 2’ x 2’. Strong disease resistance.

‘Red Drift’. The most petite of the series, Red Drift is perfect for container gardening as well as for use in front-of-the-border. Mature height is less than a foot with a similar spread. Great flower power and disease resistance.

'Sweet Drift'. Clear pink double flowers seem to float in clusters atop dark green glossy foliage. Most double-flowered of all the Drifts. Grows 1’-2’ tall, 2’-3’ wide.
