This repeat bloomer continues to put on a lovely floral display from spring through the first frost, so you’ll have plenty of time to admire the striking blooms. The buds emerge in a vibrant yellow hue that gradually lightens. When the flowers open, they are a buttery yellow and eventually transition to a pale yellow. The flowers are offset by small, dark green foliage with serrated edges.
This plant has a bushy form with a low, spreading growth habit. Feature Lemon Drift® Rose in a bed or border or create a lovely ground cover. This rose does very well in containers, allowing it to live on patios or balconies. The Lemon Drift® Rose is disease resistant, making it a good choice for gardeners reluctant to take on roses.
Lemon Drift® Rose Care
Lemon Drift® Roses need full sun and acidic soil with a 6.0 - 6.5 pH. The soil should also be rich and well drained. This plant has medium water needs. Apply a layer of organic mulch around the root zone to retain moisture and slowly enrich the soil. Feed your rose bush using a slow-release fertilizer during the spring and again in late summer.
Drift® Rose plants maintain a good shape and generally do not need a lot of pruning, but you can shape as needed in early spring. Cutting back the growth will encourage more branching and a full, dense look.
Lemon Drift® Rose Spacing
The Lemon Drift® Rose has a compact form and will grow 1 to 2 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide. While this cultivar is disease resistant, give the plants space so air can flow around the foliage. Space plants 3 feet apart for best results.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
