Where to Plant Your Red Drift Rose?

The Rosa Drift red bush is best suited for full sun areas and will adapt to a variety of soil types but prefers well-draining soil.

Dig a hole the size of the root ball, plant your drift roses, and water thoroughly. Establish a regular watering schedule during the first year of planting to ensure a healthy root system develops.

This dwarf rose bush can get up to 1-2 feet tall and 2-3 feet wide. It is easy to grow across the United States in USDA plant hardiness zones 4-11. Drift roses grow in a variety of planting sites and soil conditions are relatively low maintenance.

This groundcover rose has continuous blooms starting in early spring and going all the way until the mid-fall. Deadheading spent buds will encourage more red blooms. Prune drift roses to maintain desired size and shape, as well as prune off dead branches.

Fertilize your roses in early spring. This plant has excellent disease resistance to black spot and other fungal diseases.
