How to Prune Drift Roses & When

When pruning drift roses it’s all about watching how your plant is blooming. When you notice the blooms dying off you will want to get a sharp, clean pair of scissors and cut off any spent flowers and cut back the stems only leaving two-thirds of it. This will help keep your bush healthy and happy by promoting new growth and new blooms. 

The best time to prune Drift Roses is when the first significant set of blooms has died. You will want to deadhead all the spent flowers and then prune back the stems, only leaving about two-thirds of the stem.

When to Fertilize Drift Roses

Drift Roses grow fast bloom heavily which is helped by 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.

Growing Drift Roses in Containers

Drift roses are the perfect container plant. Only reaching heights of 1-2ft and widths of 2-3ft, their small size makes them great container plants. When choosing a container for your Drift rose plant you will want to get one that's 2 times or bigger than the pot it’s in and make sure it has proper drainage holes. Next, get a well-draining soil and plant as normal. Since your plant is in a container you will want to be aware of how often you water. Only water your plant when the soil is dry to the touch.
