Red Drift® Rose 1 Live Groundcover Shrub, 2 Gallon Pot – Rosa Red Drift®

Red Drift® Rose (Rosa, Red Drift® selection) is a compact, deciduous groundcover rose valued for its abundant petite red flowers, attractive dark green foliage, and naturally low, mounding growth habit. Its colorful blossoms create a striking contrast against the dense green leaves, making this ornamental shrub suitable for small gardens, sunny borders, pathway edges, and low landscape plantings.

From mid-spring through mid-fall, Red Drift® Rose produces numerous small red blossoms that cover the plant under favorable growing conditions. This selection is known for having some of the smallest flowers in the Drift® rose series, creating a delicate, finely textured floral display. Its dark green foliage forms a compact, spreading mound that works well as a flowering groundcover or low garden accent.

Red Drift® Rose performs best in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. It prefers moderate watering, especially during establishment and extended dry periods. This selection is valued for its winter hardiness within its recommended growing zones and generally good disease resistance. As a deciduous shrub, it may lose its foliage and become dormant during winter.

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