Rose Type: Groundcover
Apricot Drift® is a compact groundcover rose that produces an abundance of charming double blooms in warm apricot tones that gradually soften to lighter shades as they mature. The petite flowers measure approximately ¾ inch across and feature 30–35 petals, creating a continuous blanket of color that beautifully complements its glossy dark green foliage. Its low, spreading habit makes it an excellent choice for filling open spaces with long-lasting beauty.
Blooming repeatedly throughout the season, Apricot Drift® forms a dense, compact plant that is easy to grow and maintain. Its fragrance ranges from very slight to none, allowing the vibrant blooms to take center stage. With very strong disease resistance, excellent heat tolerance, and a naturally tidy growth habit, this variety is ideal for hillsides, borders, mass plantings, and containers.
