About

The Red Drift Rose (Rosa 'Meigalpio') is a compact, groundcover rose that offers an exceptional combination of color, performance, and disease resistance. Its low-growing habit and vibrant blooms make it a versatile choice for various landscaping applications, from borders to mass plantings.

The Overall Plant

The Red Drift Rose is a low-growing, deciduous shrub that reaches a height of 1 to 2 feet and spreads up to 3 feet wide. Its dense, dark green foliage creates a lush backdrop for the abundant red blooms. The Red Drift Rose is known for its excellent disease resistance, particularly against common rose afflictions such as blackspot and powdery mildew. This hardy, low-maintenance rose variety is perfect for adding a pop of color to any garden, regardless of the gardener's skill level.

The Flowers

The Red Drift Rose produces clusters of vibrant red, semi-double flowers throughout the growing season, from late spring to frost. The blooms have a mild fragrance and measure up to 1.5 inches in diameter. Due to its continuous blooming nature, the Red Drift Rose provides an extended season of color and visual interest in the garden. Its prolific blooms also attract pollinators, such as bees and butterflies, contributing to the overall biodiversity of your garden.

The Fruit

The Red Drift Rose does not produce hips or fruit, allowing the plant to focus its energy on producing a profusion of blooms throughout the season. While the lack of fruit may be a drawback for those seeking to attract wildlife, the continuous flowering display more than makes up for it by providing a long-lasting, vibrant presence in the garden.
