Scarlet Drift® Rose 1 Live Flowering Shrub, 2 Gallon Pot – Rosa ‘Meidelvega’

Scarlet Drift® Rose (Rosa ‘Meidelvega’) is a compact, low-growing landscape rose admired for its vibrant scarlet-red flowers, spreading growth habit, and extended flowering season. Part of the Drift® rose series, this ornamental shrub combines the colorful blooms of traditional roses with a naturally low, mounding form. Its abundant flowers and attractive green foliage make it suitable for garden borders, foundation plantings, landscape beds, and decorative outdoor containers.

From late spring through fall, Scarlet Drift® Rose produces clusters of small, double to semi-double scarlet-red blossoms. Flowers appear repeatedly throughout the growing season under favorable conditions, creating a colorful display above the dense green foliage. Its low, spreading branches form a rounded mound that works especially well along pathways, at the front of mixed borders, and in mass plantings.

Scarlet Drift® Rose grows best in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. It prefers moderate watering, with consistent moisture during establishment and prolonged dry periods. This deciduous flowering shrub is valued for its compact landscape habit, repeat flowering, and suitability for a variety of ornamental garden settings. Seasonal pruning may be used to maintain a tidy appearance and encourage healthy new growth.

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