Drift Roses are fast growers and heavy bloomers that will benefit from fertilization. We recommend feeding them right after the late winter pruning, and then every 6 weeks or so during the growing season, with a rose food or an organic plant food.

How far do drift roses spread?

They only grow 2 to 3 feet tall, with a generous spread of 4 feet or more. The low, spreading habit, colorful flowers and long blooming season make Drift roses a lower-maintenance alternative to bedding plants in flower beds.

How do you plant Drift groundcover roses?

Drift roses can be planted at any time of the year. Choose a sunny location; these roses love sunlight so do best planted where they will get 6 – 8 hours of sunlight a day. The more sun, the more flowers. Choose well-drained soil enriched with organic matter and maintain a 1 – 3-inch layer of mulch.
