how tall do drift roses get
Drift roses were developed for use as flowering ground covers. Drift roses (Rosa Drift varieties), generally hardy in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 4 or 5 through 11, are a series of ground-cover roses designed for versatility in landscape applications. Drift roses are wider than they are tall -- usually about 18 inches tall by 30 inches wide. The plants bloom repeatedly throughout the growing season and are simple to maintain.
