Drift^® Roses

The Next Big Thing for Small Gardens

Available at GREENSCAPE GARDENS. From the introducers of The Knock Out® Family of Roses, comes the next big thing for small gardens. Like The Knock Out® Family of Roses, Drift® Roses are repeat-bloomers that are tough, disease resistant, winter hardy and virtually maintenance-free.

Drift® Roses are a cross between full-size groundcover roses and miniature roses. From the former they kept toughness, disease resistance and winter hardiness. From the miniatures, they inherited their well-managed size and repeat-blooming nature.

Continuously blooming from spring to frost, they are naturally dwarf, with very attractive foliage. They are winter hardy to zone 5.

The series is composed of 6 varieties:

• Apricot Drift® NEW IN 2010!
• Coral Drift®
• Pink Drift®
• Red Drift®
• Peach Drift®
• Sweet Drift® NEW IN 2010!

The low, spreading habit of Drift® Roses makes them perfect for small gardens and combination planters. They brighten up borders, fill in empty spaces, and spread delicately around your favorite established plants.

Prune back to 4" in early spring (after the last hard frost) for best performance. Regular deadheading encourages re-blooming and helps maintain a tidy appearance.

Drift® Roses will once again be available at Greenscape Gardens.
