Apricot Drift® Rose

The Apricot Drift® Rose is continuously in bloom, carrying a profusion of apricot-pink blooms atop abundant green leaves. It has a low, mounding form, growing just 18 inches tall, but up to 30 inches across. The billowing spread of foliage is perfect for edging beds, along paths, at the top of walls, or in planter boxes. The blooms are 2½ inches across, opening pink and turning apricot as they develop and mature. Each one lasts 2 weeks and the bush is never without blooms.

• Very full, double apricot-pink blooms
• Continuous blooming all season
• Low, mounded form for edging and smaller gardens
• Resistant to black spot and powdery mildew
• Perfect for containers and planters

Growing the Apricot Drift® Rose in full sun will give you the best results and the most flowers. It will grow in most garden soils that are not too wet or too dry, and it is valuable for heavy clay soils, which roses enjoy. Add plenty of organic material when planting, and as annual mulch, and use fertilizer for pot growing. This plant is highly resistant to both Black Spot and Powdery Mildew, so regular spraying is not needed. A simple spring trim will set things going for the whole season.
