Th e next big thing for small 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. Great as a border! Pink Drift Plant in mass for big impact Continuously blooming from spring to frost, they are naturally dwarf, with very attractive foliage. They are winter hardy to zone 4.

Continuously blooms from spring until frost The series is composed of seven varieties Apricot Drift, Coral Drift, Popcorn Drift, Peach Drift, Pink Drift, Red Drift, and Sweet Drift. Drift Roses have good resistance to rust, powdery mildew and black spot. Perfect as a ground cover 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. Mix with perennials, annuals and shrubs 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. Red Drift
