Product Description
Are you looking to add soft colors to enhance continuous elegance in your garden? The Popcorn drift rose bush will do just that with its repetitive blooming throughout the year. It features a slight color change that will amaze you!
The popcorn rose color starts as a soft yellow and fades to cream white blooms. The overall impression is yellow and cream reminiscent of buttery popcorn hence its name. Contrasting dark green foliage lies under the yellow flowers.
Drift Roses are a cross full-size ground cover roses and miniature roses. They gained durability, disease resistance, and winter hardiness from the full size ground cover roses. The drift series rose bushes gained a healthy size and repeat-blooming nature from the miniatures.
They enhance edgings, fill empty spaces, and spread elegantly around established plants, small gardens, or rock walls. Yellow drift roses are low maintenance and will reward you with endless color all season long.
To create an array of colors, plant with other shrub roses like Pink Drift Rose or Peach Drift Rose.
How to Grow Drift Roses
No special attention is required for Drift Rose Bushes besides well draining soil. For best presentation, prune drift roses annually in early spring after the last peril of frost has passed. The addition of mulch or organic matter will help with moisture retention. Don’t have the right soil conditions for roses? Buy our Rose Planting Mix to amend your native soil or container.
Be sure to water the drift groundcover roses thoroughly during the first year to establish a strong root system and keep the soil moist. These creamy white and yellow blooms prefer full sun and rest assured they will make your landscape look beautiful!
Drift roses are pest and disease resistant even to diseases like powdery mildew and black spot. An annual application of slow release fertilizer at the top of the root ball in the beginning of the growing season should help with any problems that may arise.
Grows best across the United States in USDA plant hardiness zones 5-10. The yellow drift rose can get up to 1.5 feet tall and 2.5 feet wide at full maturity. If you wish, you may prune this rose bush into a popcorn rose tree.

Bought 3 for my moms birthday, her favorite color is yellow. I am not a plant person but she said they looked great and were very healthy.

Ordered 12 for Mothers day and they arrived on Friday. They were packed very well in two boxes. Instead of a bouquet of flowers that die in a week, mom will have flowers for month each year. The plants appear very healthy with many flower buds about to open. I reccomend them to others.

My roses are in the ground and very happy! They arrived in great condition. I had already tried to get popcorn drift roses through a local nursery who couldn’t seem to make it happen for me. I decided to place an order myself. I found Perfect Plants online and now I have my popcorn drifts!
