Scarlet Drift® Rose is the true red in the Drift line, a saturated scarlet that holds its color rather than fading toward pink as the flowers age. Rosa 'MEIdelvega' grows about 18 inches tall and spreads 30 inches in full sun, hardy from Zone 4 through Zone 11.
Bloom is continuous from mid-spring to the first hard freeze, and the flowers clean off on their own without deadheading.
Drift roses are a cross between full-size groundcover roses and miniature roses, bred to stay low and spread wide while blooming continuously. They were developed to fill the awkward spots: hillsides, narrow strips along a walk, the front edge of a bed, containers. All of them are self-cleaning, disease resistant, and need no deadheading.
This is one of the newer Drift introductions, and the habit is low and mounding with glossy dark foliage that fills to the ground. Disease resistance is high, so the foliage stays clean through humid summers with no spray program. Cut back by about a third in late winter. Shipped on its own roots.
