Drift Roses are compact, low-maintenance roses perfect for small spaces, borders, and ground cover.
Drift Roses are a versatile group of compact, low-growing roses perfect for small spaces, borders, and containers. They are a hybrid between full-size groundcover roses and miniature roses, combining disease resistance, continuous blooming, and ease of care. These roses are prized for their vibrant colors, long-lasting blooms, and adaptability, making them a favorite among gardeners of all skill levels.
Along with bush roses or climbing roses, Drift Roses belong to the Rosaceae family, which includes other plants such as Apples (Malus domestica), Peaches (Prunus persica), and Strawberries (Fragaria × ananassa).
