Description:
A cross between groundcover and miniature roses, Sweet Drift® blankets borders and beds with romantic, fully double pink blooms that repeat vigorously all season. Its tidy, 2-foot habit and excellent pest/disease resistance make it a reliable, low-maintenance choice for small gardens, slopes, and along walkways—big flower power in a compact package.
Care Tips:
Plant in full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly the first growing season; afterward, water during dry spells (avoid soggy sites). Prune in late winter to shape and refresh growth; a light shear after flushes can encourage faster rebloom. Feed with a balanced rose fertilizer in spring; mulch 2–3" to conserve moisture.
Landscape Uses:
Mass plantings, edging along paths and driveways, front-of-border color, low hedges, slopes/erosion control, containers, cutting gardens.
