| Botanical Name | Rosa 'Meidrifora' (Coral Drift®) |
| Description | Coral Drift® is famous for its winter-hardiness and intense summer heat tolerance. In the Willis area, it remains exceptionally healthy, resisting common fungal issues like black spot despite high Houston humidity. Its bright coral blooms maintain their color well even in full Texas sun and it adapts readily to managed clay soils. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (6+ hours) |
| Height x Width | 1.5 feet tall x 3 feet wide |
| Water | Regular watering until established. Ensure the soil is well-drained to avoid saturated roots during Willis's heavy rain seasons. |
| Zones | 4 - 11 |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced rose fertilizer in early spring and mid-summer to encourage constant reblooming. |
| Pruning | Prune back to 6-12 inches in late February. This promotes a flush of healthy new growth and a heavy crop of spring flowers. |
| Deer Resistance | Low |
