Popcorn Drift® Rose Bush

Popcorn Drift® Rose: If you’re looking for a rose that’s as delightful as freshly popped popcorn, Popcorn Drift is the one for you! With soft buttery yellow blooms that gradually fade to creamy white, this rose puts on a beautiful show all season long. Its compact, ground-hugging habit makes it perfect for garden borders, planters, and any spot where you want a pop of color. And like all Drift Roses, it’s tough—resistant to diseases, winter hardy, and ready to handle whatever the elements throw at it.

Planting Instructions:

• - Can be planted anytime the soil temperatures are above 45°F, so feel free to plant throughout the growing season.

Watering Specifics:

Pruning and Training:

Light Requirements:

• - Needs at least 6 hours of full sun each day to produce its endless buttery blooms.
