Another in the Drift series of groundcover roses, and what's not to like about the very light yellow color.  The petals are small and cup-like, the leaves are dark green, and it's just 1.5 feet high by around two feet wide. It takes full sun, zones 4-11.  It has excellent disease resistance, attracts pollinators, and is great at the front of the border, on hillsides, or in open areas that need more plants!
