Rosa 'Meimirrote' PP23,354

Rose Drift Apricot is a compact, spreading ground cover rose prized for its abundance of soft apricot-colored flowers and glossy green foliage. Blooming continuously from spring through to frost, this rose provides long-lasting color with minimal maintenance. Its low, mounding habit makes it ideal for edging pathways, filling garden beds, cascading over retaining walls, or growing in decorative containers.

Bred for disease resistance and resilience, Apricot Drift Rose combines the beauty of traditional roses with the durability of landscape shrubs. It performs exceptionally well in a variety of garden styles, from formal borders to relaxed cottage gardens. With excellent heat tolerance and repeat flowering, this rose delivers reliable performance while requiring far less care than standard rose varieties.

Care Instructions

Planting:
Plant in a full sun position for best flowering. Space plants to allow airflow and spreading growth.

Watering:
Water regularly during establishment. Once established, water deeply but less frequently, allowing soil to dry slightly between watering.

Pruning:
Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and encourage vigorous new growth. Deadhead if desired, though not essential.

Pest Control:
Highly disease-resistant, but monitor for aphids or mites. Treat early with appropriate rose-safe treatments if needed.

Soil Tips:
Prefers well-draining, nutrient-rich soil. Improve soil with compost before planting and mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
