Scarlet Drift® Rose 1 Live Flowering Shrub, 1 Quart Pot – Rosa ‘Meidelvega’

Scarlet Drift® Rose (Rosa ‘Meidelvega’) is a compact, low-growing landscape rose known for its vivid scarlet-red flowers, spreading growth habit, and repeat flowering throughout the growing season. This ornamental shrub belongs to the Drift® rose series and combines colorful rose blossoms with a naturally mounding form. Its dense green foliage and low-spreading branches make it an attractive choice for garden borders, foundation plantings, pathway edges, and decorative outdoor containers.

From late spring through fall, Scarlet Drift® Rose produces clusters of small, double scarlet-red flowers that stand out against its green foliage. Under favorable growing conditions, new blossoms continue to develop in successive flushes, providing extended seasonal color. Its low, spreading habit works particularly well at the front of perennial borders, along walkways, and in grouped landscape plantings.

Scarlet Drift® Rose performs best in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. It prefers moderate watering, with consistent moisture during establishment and dry weather. Its compact form makes it suitable for smaller garden spaces and outdoor containers with adequate drainage. Like other landscape roses, it may lose some or all of its foliage during colder months and resume active growth in spring.

Each order includes 1 live Scarlet Drift® Rose supplied in a 1-quart nursery pot (QT).
