Sweet & Subtle Pink Flowers Rebloom All Year Long

Add some sweetness to your landscape with the Sweet Drift Rose Bush candy pink blooms that cover the plant!

The elegant Sweet Drift pink Rose features an authentic ground cover habit and offers a fresh look to any landscape or garden. Clusters of clear pink double flowers sit atop dark green glossy foliage and bloom in abundance throughout the season. They offer a beautiful season-long show of color.

The low, spreading habit of Drift Roses makes them ideal for small gardens, hillsides, and perennial beds. They will brighten up an array of border types, fill any empty spaces, and spread nicely around your already established plants.

Awarded for best groundcover at the Biltmore International Rose Trials in North Carolina. Its abundant continuous flowering and exceptional disease resistance make this rose a perfect choice for use along pathways, hillsides, or at the front of a border in many home landscapes.

HOW TO CARE FOR DRIFT GROUNDCOVER ROSES

The Sweet Drift Rose is best suited for sunny areas and will adapt to a variety of soil types. Our Rose Soil Mix is the best choice for amending native soils with proper soil nutrition when planting drift roses.

The Drift series can benefit from the addition of slow release fertilizer at the top of the root ball once a year in the early spring growing season. Deadheading spent flower blossoms will encourage repeat blooms to appear. Mulching with organic matter will help retain moisture and keep your roses looking healthy even after the first freeze of late fall.

This easy to grow shrub rose prefers full sun when planted in the ground. Highly recommend watering thoroughly during the first year of planting to establish a strong root system. This does not ship bare root and we don't knock off thee dirt before shipping. Our roses ship in the container they were grown in with a well-developed root system and all the dirt.

Grow this full-size ground cover rose across the United States in USDA growing zones 4-11. It is very cold hardy and also drought tolerant. At full maturity, this dwarf rose bush can grow up to 1-2 feet tall and 2-3 feet wide.

Shop the Sweet Drift Rose Bush for sale. They are easy to care for and make beautiful flower carpets.

We also love the White Drift Rose, Apricot Drift Rose, and Pink Drift Rose and love blending the colors in a sorbet of fun and flower power.

Beautiful!

I am a first-time buyer, but this will not be my last purchase from Perfect Plants. Their name is fitting! My roses arrived in gorgeous condition. Packaging is exceptional, and the soil was still moist when everything arrived. The roses are in their new garden home already showing new growth, and we cannot wait for them to fill out. I'm sure they will be amazing at full growth because they had such a fantastic start. I'm very pleased!

Sweet Drifts rose bush

Since these rose bushes were traveling so far (from FL to OR) I was more than a bit concerned about their fate! But my sister was more than pleased and sent me a photo . The bushes remained hardy and many blooms were intact. Thank you so much for the care you took

Hi Walter, Thank you so much for supporting our family-owned business and purchasing our beautifulsweet drift roses! One sure way of keeping those pesky deers away is to build some kind of barrier around your plants. I hope that your efforts work to keep them out so they can beautifully through Spring!
