| Botanical Name | Rosa 'Novarospop' PP24773 |
| Description | The Popcorn Drift® Rose is a delightful addition to Houston gardens, known for its unique color-changing blooms that open buttery yellow and transition to creamy white. Like its cousins in the Drift series, it is exceptionally resistant to rust, powdery mildew, and black spot—common issues in our humid Houston metro environment. While it handles our heavy clay soil well, planting in a raised bed or amending with organic matter is recommended to ensure the drainage necessary for healthy root systems during our sudden Gulf Coast downpours. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (6+ hours daily) |
| Height x Width | 1.5' Height x 2' - 3' Width |
| Water | Average; requires consistent moisture, especially during the extreme heat of July and August. |
| Zones | 4 - 11 |
| Fertilization | Use a balanced slow-release rose fertilizer in early spring and again in late summer. |
| Pruning | Prune back by half in late winter (February) to encourage fresh growth and a new flush of blooms. |
| Deer Resistance | Low |
