Drift® Rose

THE DRIFTERS

Drift® Roses are a clever cross between full-size groundcover roses and miniature roses. They inherited the best of both worlds, being tough and disease resistant rebloomers, all in a manageable size that thrives in full sun.

You’ll love yours in any space really, but might try on a slope, to fill in around other established perennials, even in containers. Continuous blooming with green foliage. Disease resistant but prune to allow for air flow which helps prevent black spot fungus.

Soil: Evenly moist but well-drained soils are best. A 2-3″ layer of shredded bark mulch is recommended in all areas, all year round. We recommend Altum’s Soil Amendment and Organic Plant Magic soil additive to improve planting areas.
Pruning: Early spring. Cut out any dead branches and select interior branches to allow for better air circulation. Prune back one-third to one-half of plant to remove any winter kill on tips and to encourage new growth.
Fertilizer: Beginning in March or April, fertilize with Rose Food and apply every 8 weeks to keep your roses looking their best. Stop fertilizing in late summer/fall as your roses prepare for their winter slumber.
