I haven’t found the thorns to be an issue when weeding; at least not any more than any other rose. I have been so pleasantly surprised with this little gem, I plan to try some others in the Drift series.

"Pink Drift™" made the NYBG's Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden's list of top performers with a high rating. The Rockefeller Rose Garden is a sustainable garden in which no toxic fungicides are used. In NYC, this cultivar has excellent, clean foliage all season without spraying for blackspot.
The flowers are a little over 2" across, and the foliage is proportionately small. In NYC, bloom is profuse, starting in June and continuing nonstop till frost.
Because of the challenge their thorns present to weed control, I wouldn't use any rose as a groundcover. "Pink Drift™" has a good low mounding habit that's useful in the garden but not especially useful as a groundcover.
The cultivar name is 'Meijocos'. "Pink Drift™" is a trademark and a proprietary trade name belonging to Conard-Pyle.
Bred by Jacques Mouchotte. Introduced in the US by Star Roses in 2009.
