Notes
'Popcorn Drift' rose (Rosa 'Popcorn 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 light yellow blooms are fragrant and attract butterflies and bees. It stays low and bushy, so it fills in nicely at the front of a bed. Michael S. Dobres bred it in 2012 as a sport of 'Peach Drift'.
Pairs well with Jeana garden phlox, Gladiator ornamental onion, and Stained Glass hosta.
