Generic Drift Popcorn Rose 2 Gal. Groundcover Rose — Buttery Yellow to Creamy White, Low‑Maintenance

Drift Popcorn Rose (2 gallon) is a compact, continuous-blooming groundcover rose with buttery yellow blooms that age to creamy white, ideal for borders, containers, and hillside erosion control.

This Drift variety blends the look of miniature roses with the spreading habit of groundcovers, giving you long-lasting color with low maintenance.

It thrives across a wide climate range and blooms from spring through fall, filling spaces with clusters of soft, two-toned flowers.
