White Drift Rose

White Drift Rose (Rosa hybrid 'Meizorland')

White Drift Rose brings a clean, bright look to sunny beds with repeat bloom that keeps borders looking fresh for months. Compact, low growth makes it easy to use at the front of plantings where color matters most, without blocking other plants. Flowers arrive in clusters and keep coming through the warm season, so you get steady coverage instead of a quick flush. If you want a crisp white rose that stays neat and landscape-friendly, this one delivers.

Distinctive Features

This Drift-style rose produces abundant clusters of small, double white blooms that open with a soft, creamy tint and mature to a brighter white. The plant forms a low, mounding to gently spreading habit, creating a tidy carpet of bloom and foliage that looks finished with minimal shaping. Glossy, dark green leaves provide strong contrast and help the plant look polished between flushes. Mature size is typically about 1.5 feet tall and about 2.5 feet wide.

Growing Conditions

• Sun: Full sun is best for maximum 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 conditions.
• USDA Zones: Zones 4 to 11.
• Spacing: Space about 2 to 3 feet apart to support airflow and allow the mound to fill in evenly.

Ideal Uses

• Focal Point: Use as a focal point at the front of a sunny bed where a low sweep of white bloom can brighten the edge of the space for months.
• Front Borders: Keeps the front of beds crisp with a compact mound that does not block other plantings.
• Mass Planting: Plant in groups for a continuous carpet of white that reads clean and bright from the street.
• Walkways: Lines paths with repeat bloom while staying low and easy to maintain.
• Containers: Works well in large pots where a tidy habit and steady bloom stay presentable with simple care.

Low Maintenance Care

• Pruning: Cut back in late winter to early spring to refresh growth and maintain a dense, rounded shape.
• Deadheading: Deadheading is optional, but removing spent clusters can improve tidiness and encourage quicker 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 White Drift Rose?
