Rose Drift Lemon is a bright and cheerful ground cover rose valued for its soft lemon-yellow flowers and compact, spreading habit. Flowering continuously from spring through to frost, it provides a fresh splash of color that lifts garden beds, borders, and pathways. The glossy green foliage contrasts beautifully with the sunny blooms and remains neat and healthy throughout the growing season.

Its low-growing form makes it ideal for mass plantings, containers, edging, and cascading over low walls. This variety is highly disease-resistant and tolerant of heat, making it a reliable choice for a wide range of climates and garden styles. With consistent flowering and minimal care requirements, it is perfect for gardeners seeking long-lasting color with ease.
