Rose Type: Groundcover
Coral Drift® produces bright coral-orange blooms on a low, mounding plant that stays compact and colorful in the landscape. The small flowers reach about 1.5 inches across and carry 20–25 petals, creating a cheerful display above medium to dark green foliage. Its spreading habit makes it especially useful where a lower-growing rose is preferred.
The flowers have very little to no noticeable fragrance, while the plant itself offers very strong disease resistance and good heat tolerance. Coral Drift® grows about 1–2 feet tall and 2–3 feet wide and is well suited for hillsides, open areas, containers, and other smaller spaces. It is also specifically noted for drought tolerance once established.
