Rosa Drift® Pink, commonly known as Drift Rose, is a compact, spreading shrub rose that produces bright pink, semi-double blooms from late spring through fall. Growing 1.5 to 2 feet tall with a 2 to 3 foot spread, this rose is ideal for borders, containers, and mass plantings. It features glossy green foliage and a tidy, mounded shape that fits well into both formal and informal landscapes. Like others in the Drift series, Pink is highly disease-resistant, reblooming, and easy to care for, offering long-lasting color with minimal maintenance.
