Collection: Drift Roses

Drift® Roses are groundcover roses made easy®.  They were bred to stay manageable in size and bloom from spring to frost without a lot of work from you. Here are some helpful tips and guides to ensure your roses perform their best.

Step 1: Pick a Sunny Place to Plant

Your rose bush will need at least 6 hours of sun each day, so choose a sunny spot to plant.

Step 2: Dig a Large Hole

Dig a hole slightly larger than the container. Work the soil at the bottom of the hole with your shovel so that it is loose and aerated.

Step 3: Remove Rose from its Container

Remove the Drift® Rose from its container. Use your hands to gently loosen the roots at the bottom of the plant.

Step 4: Plant your Rose in Ground

Place the plant in the hole, ensuring that the base of the plant is level with the soil.

Step 5: Fill in Soil around Plant

Add soil and soil amendments (Permatil, compost) back to the hole around the plant. Crumble the soil so that it is nice and aerated. If desired, mulch around the plant.

Step 6: Water Rose until Established

Water your Drift® Rose thoroughly around the base of the plant, allowing it to soak in. Repeat as necessary. For the next couple of weeks, check in and water the plant as needed to ensure it stays healthy.
