Apricot Drift® Rose

Apricot Drift® Rose combines a true groundcover habit with a season-long display of double apricot flowers. It stays low and spreads wider than tall, fitting naturally along walkways, at the front of sunny borders, on slopes, and in mass plantings. The flowers begin in spring and repeat into fall on a tough, disease-resistant plant. Give it full sun, well-drained soil, and regular water while the roots establish.
