Lemon Drift® Rose

Lemon Drift® Rose is a low-growing groundcover rose covered with cheerful yellow flowers that soften to cream as they age. Its compact, rounded habit stays wider than tall, making it a natural fit along walkways, at the front of sunny borders, on gentle slopes, or in mass plantings. Blooms repeat from spring until frost above glossy medium-green foliage. Plant in full sun and well-drained soil, with regular watering until established. Its manageable size also works well in larger containers.
