Description
The newest addition to the family of low-maintenance dwarf Drift Groundcover Roses, Lemon Drift® has a very bushy, compact, and rounded habit and produces abundant flowers throughout the season; from spring to frost. Yellow buds open to lemon yellow flowers that fade to soft yellow and finally to white. Both buds and the different color shades of flowers occur simultaneously on the rose providing a wonderful multi-tone effect. The flowers contrast nicely with deep green glossy foliage. Excellent for season-long color in smaller garden spaces and landscape borders.
Drift Roses are comparable to the family of Knock Out Roses in disease resistance and low-maintenance, however are much smaller in size. They get their small size from being 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. We’ve found that Drift Roses have about five flower cycles yearly. The spring bloom in April and the fall bloom are the heaviest, with sporadic lighter flowering between.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Being dwarfs, Drift Roses are ideal for use as a specimen in small to medium size garden spaces, pots, planters and other patio containers of 12 inches or more in rim diameter. In larger landscape spaces, for stunning floral displays plant them in groupings or mass plantings for vibrant splashes of season-long color, or as a front facing border in home foundation plantings, landscape borders or rose gardens. Lemon Drift is a fine addition to rose gardens, yellow theme gardens and cottage gardens.  Â
Suggested Spacing:Â Â 24 inches apart for mass plantings;Â 4 feet or more apart for space between plants

Growing Preferences
Drift Roses are exceptionally easy to grow in average, well-drained soils with medium moisture in full sun to part shade. To avoid powdery mildew on leaves, all roses require morning sun to dry the morning dew from their leaves. Some afternoon shade or filtered sun is fine. We suggest 6 hours of direct sunlight per day for best flowering. Drift Roses do not require pruning, however, they do benefit from it. We cut our Drift Roses back to about 4 to 6 inches above the ground before new growth begins to emerge in late winter or very early spring. Plants will quickly flush out and start blooming with the arrival of spring temperatures. Deadheading spent flowers is not necessary however will encourage more new buds and flowers.
