Peach Drift Rose

Peach Drift Rose (Rosa 'Meiggili')

Peach Drift Rose is a compact, low-growing rose that keeps sunny beds looking bright with steady bloom from mid-spring to fall. Soft peach flowers arrive in clusters, giving you a full look even in smaller spaces and along the front of borders. The rounded, mounding habit fills in quickly, so plantings look finished without needing constant shaping. If you want long-season color with an easy, landscape-friendly footprint, this rose fits the plan.

Distinctive Features

This drift-style shrub rose produces abundant clusters of soft peach blooms that cover the plant through the growing season. Glossy, dark green foliage provides clean contrast and helps the planting look polished between flushes. Its naturally low, spreading mound makes it especially useful where you want flower impact without height, and it is known for strong disease resistance in everyday landscapes. Mature size is typically about 1.5 feet tall and about 2 feet wide.

Growing Conditions

• Sun: Full sun is best for the heaviest bloom and the healthiest, densest growth.
• Soil: Plant in fertile, well-drained soil, and amend with organic matter for best performance.
• Water: Water deeply during establishment, then water when the top few inches of soil are dry while avoiding soggy soil.
• USDA Zones: Zones 4 to 11.
• Mature Size: Typically reaches about 1.5 feet tall and about 2 feet wide with a rounded, mounding habit.

Ideal Uses

• Focal Point: Use as a focal point in a low, sunny bed where a wide sweep of soft peach bloom can brighten the edge of the space.
• Front Borders: Keeps the front of beds crisp with a low mound that does not block other plantings.
• Mass Planting: Plant in groups for a continuous carpet of color that reads well from the street.
• Walkways: Lines paths with steady bloom while staying low and easy to maintain.
• Slopes and Banks: Spreading growth helps cover ground on sunny slopes while adding long-season flower color.

Low Maintenance Care

• Pruning: Cut back in late winter to early spring to refresh growth and maintain a dense, rounded shape.
• Deadheading: Remove spent clusters to keep the plant tidy and encourage faster repeat bloom.
• Watering: Water at the base to keep foliage drier and support healthier growth through humid weather.
• Feeding: Fertilize in spring and again after the first strong bloom flush to support continuous flowering.
• Mulching: Mulch to conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and moderate soil temperature around the roots.

Why Choose Peach Drift Rose?
