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

Sweet Drift® Rose (Rosa, Sweet Drift® selection) is a compact, deciduous groundcover rose admired for its abundant clear pink double flowers, glossy dark green foliage, and naturally low, mounding growth habit. Its soft pink blossoms appear in attractive clusters above the foliage, creating a colorful display suited to small gardens, sunny borders, pathway edges, and ornamental landscape beds.

Sweet Drift® Rose is especially notable for its densely petaled flowers, making it one of the most double-flowered selections in the Drift® rose series. The clear pink blossoms appear in clusters that seem to float above the dark green, glossy leaves. Under favorable growing conditions, the plant flowers repeatedly from spring into fall, providing extended ornamental interest throughout the growing season.

Sweet Drift® Rose performs best in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. It prefers moderate watering, particularly during establishment and prolonged dry periods. This selection is valued for its excellent disease resistance and compact, spreading form. As a deciduous shrub, it may naturally lose its foliage and become dormant during winter.

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