Rosa Pink Drift® (Groundcover Rose)
Rose Pink Drift®, Rosa 'Meijocos' PP18874, Groundcover Roses, Shrub Roses
Blooming its heart out, Rosa Pink Drift® is a terrific groundcover rose which produces abundant clusters of small, deep pink flowers adorned with a pale center. They open up in a softly cupped shape to reveal the stamens and stand out against the glossy deep green foliage that is noted for its strong disease-resistance. Blooming continuously from spring until frost, this rose is low maintenance and easy to grow. An exceptional choice for the landscape, the low, spreading habit of this rose makes it perfect for small gardens, along paths and walkways, or in containers.
Rosa Pink Drift® belongs to the Drift® Groundcover Roses which are known for their compact size, long bloom season, bright colors, profuse flowering, disease resistance and winter hardiness.
- Grows in a compact bush with an arching, graceful shape, up to 18 in. tall (45 cm) and 36 in. wide (90 cm).
- Best grown in full sun in rich, fertile with adequate moisture, well-drained soils. Drift roses should be fertilized each spring with a slow-release or controlled-release fertilizer. Another application in late summer would help plants bloom better into the fall. Mulch is important as it reduces weed problems, and prevents the surface soil from drying out so quickly.
- This ground-hugging, ever-blooming shrub is perfect for beds, borders, city gardens, cottage gardens, mass plantings or containers. It makes a stunning low hedge and can be used to edge a bed of taller shrubs.
- Requires no special care. However, for best performance, it is recommended to cut it back every year in early spring after the last threat of frost has passed.
