Rosa 'Meizorland' STD - White Drift® Rose Standard
$244.99
From the Drift® Collection of Roses:
"White Drift® has pure white, fully double flowers that are perfectly shaped like miniature roses. These impressive white blooms will brighten gardens of all shapes and styles. This variety can have slight coloration of Sweet Drift®.
"Drift® Roses are a cross between full-size groundcover roses and miniature roses. From the former, they kept toughness, disease resistance and winter hardiness. From the miniatures, they inherited their well-managed size and repeat-blooming nature.
"The low, manageable habit of Drift® Roses makes them perfect for gardens small to large, for planters, and for mass commercial plantings. They brighten up borders, fill in empty spaces, meander around established plants, and can control erosion on hillsides and slopes."

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.
Rose standards (or "rose trees") need to be staked for a long time to prevent leaning and/or snapping. We recommend planting rose standards in wind-protected areas to also protect the graft union from excessive cold exposure during winter.
Note: Despite having prickles (thorns), roses are NOT deer resistant. Please plant accordingly.
