Sunlight
Full sun (6+ hours) is requisite for optimal flowering.
Soil Moisture
Grows well in moist (well drained), average, and dry soils. Will tolerate mild droughts once established. Best flowering will occur in moist, well-drained to average soils.
Bloom Time
In the Pittsburgh region, Drift® roses begin flowering in mid-spring and continue on in waves every 5-6 weeks through early fall and/or the first hard frost.
Care
Water your Drift® rose generously until it is well established. We also recommend watering established plants periodically during droughts. Deadheading is not needed for continual flowering. Fertilizers are not necessary but can be applied, if desired, to increase floral display. Any fertilizer tailored for roses and/or shrubs, followed according to the label, will do.
Drift® roses are "shrub roses" and are much more pest and disease resistant than Hybrid-tea and Grandiflora roses. That said, any issue can be remedied by general products from the garden center.
Heavy pruning, if desired, is best reserved for late winter or early spring right before or when new growth begins to emerge. When pruning we recommend taking no more than 1/2 off the established plant. Avoid pruning during heat waves, droughts, and anytime during fall.
Note: Despite having prickles (thorns), roses are NOT deer resistant. Please plant accordingly.
