Sweet Drift® Rose, Rosa Sweet Drift®, or Meiswetdom, is a show stopping perennial rose with vibrant, fluffy, double flowers in classic shades of pastel-pink. These stunning flowers, that bloom from late spring to fall, will lend your garden a gorgeous, fragrant focal-point that lasts all season. The glossy green foliage of the Sweet Drift® Rose is attractive and celebrated for its disease-resistance. It grows to a height of 1 to 2 feet with a spread of 2 to 3 feet.
Bred by Drift Roses, the Sweet Drift® Rose is northern hardy and has a compact, low-growing form with an arched, elegant shape. It was awarded the Gold Medal for Ground Cover Roses at the Rose Hills International Rose Trials in 2013. Sweet Drift® Roses are beloved for their lengthy blooming season and vivid colors. They are lovely in cottage-style gardens and beds and make a beautiful low hedge.
Sweet Drift® Rose Care
Your Sweet Drift® Rose will thrive best in full sun. It needs rich, fertile soil that is well-drained. It should be fertilized in the spring with slow-release fertilizer. To extend the blooming period of your Sweet Drift® Rose, fertilize again in late summer. Adding a 2 to 3-inch layer of mulch to the base of the plant will prevent weeds and help retain moisture.
You should cut back your Sweet Drift® Rose in early spring after the last hard frost of the year, but before it begins to show signs of new growth in the spring.
Sweet Drift® Rose Spacing
Sweet Drift® Rose is great when grown en masse for groundcover. It is also a great long-blooming centerpiece in a woodland garden. It can be grown in containers and pots and makes both a beautiful “thriller” and “filler” in a mixed perennial garden. Your Sweet Drift® Rose should be spaced 4 to 5 feet apart from center to center at planting. However, if you are planting for ground cover, 3 to 4 feet apart in staggered rows is sufficient.

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.
