Notes
'Pink Drift' rose (Rosa 'Pink Drift') is a shrub for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. The deep pink flowers are fragrant and attract butterflies and bees. It blooms in spring, summer, and autumn. Alain A. Meilland bred it, and Meilland Richardier introduced it in 2009.
Pairs well with Little bluestem, Gladiator ornamental onion, and Paris coral bells.
