Apricot Drift® Rose 1 Live Groundcover Shrub, 2 Gallon Pot – Rosa ‘Apricot Drift’

Apricot Drift® Rose (Rosa Apricot Drift®) is a compact, low-growing groundcover rose admired for its abundant double apricot-colored flowers, attractive dark green foliage, and naturally mounded growth habit. Its soft apricot blossoms create a colorful display above dense, semi-glossy leaves, making it suitable for small gardens, sunny borders, landscape beds, and low ornamental plantings.

Beginning in spring and continuing through the growing season, Apricot Drift® Rose produces clusters of double flowers in warm apricot tones. Under favorable conditions, flowering can continue until the first fall frost. Its dark green, semi-glossy foliage provides an attractive background for the blossoms, while its compact, spreading habit creates a low mound that works well along pathways, at the front of garden beds, and in grouped plantings. This cultivar is also valued for its generally good disease resistance.

Apricot Drift® Rose performs best in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. It prefers moderate watering, particularly while establishing and during extended dry periods. Its compact habit makes it suitable for small garden spaces and appropriately sized outdoor containers. As a deciduous shrub, it may lose its foliage and enter dormancy during winter.

Each order includes 1 live Apricot Drift® Rose supplied in a 2-gallon nursery pot (G2).
