Red Drift® Rose 1 Live Flowering Shrub, 1 Gallon Pot – Rosa ‘Meigalpio’

Red Drift® Rose (Rosa ‘Meigalpio’) is a compact, low-growing landscape rose valued for its abundant deep red flowers, spreading growth habit, and extended flowering season. Part of the Drift® rose collection, this ornamental shrub combines the ground-covering characteristics of spreading roses with the colorful blooms of modern landscape varieties. Its dense green foliage and clusters of small red blossoms make it suitable for garden borders, foundation plantings, mass plantings, and decorative containers.

From late spring through autumn, Red Drift® Rose produces clusters of small, deep red flowers with a semi-double to double appearance. The blossoms stand out against glossy green foliage and can provide repeated flushes of color throughout the growing season. Flowering intensity varies with sunlight, climate, and seasonal conditions. Its spreading branches create a low, rounded form that works well along pathways, at the front of mixed borders, and in ornamental landscape beds.

Red Drift® Rose performs best in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. It prefers moderate watering, especially while becoming established, and benefits from good air circulation. This deciduous flowering shrub is suitable for sunny perennial gardens, rose borders, low-growing landscape plantings, and outdoor containers with adequate drainage.

Each order includes 1 live Red Drift® Rose supplied in a 1-gallon nursery pot (G1).
