Pink Drift Rose Care

• Watering: Water regularly, especially the first season. Once established, the Pink Drift is reasonably drought tolerant.

• Fertilizing: Apply a slow-release fertilizer at the start of the growing season to support re-blooming and help prevent black spot.

• Deadheading: Remove spent blooms to encourage the next flush of flowers — the more you deadhead, the faster it re-blooms.

• Pruning: A light trim in early spring or fall is all that's needed to keep it tidy. Heavy pruning is not required.

This Drift series family of roses from Star Roses and Plants are fairly disease-resistant plants and exhibit a spreading habit. A great choice for groundcover roses and miniature plants.

Bloom Season & What to Expect

One of the Pink Drift's biggest selling points is its remarkably long bloom season. Flowers begin emerging in early spring and continue re-blooming in flushes all the way through fall until the first frost. The deep pink, double blooms feature a soft, faded center that gives each flower a delicate, layered look up close. Deadheading spent blooms encourages the plant to push out the next flush of flowers more quickly, keeping the color show going strong all season. Even without deadheading, this rose will continue to re-bloom reliably, making it one of the most effortless color producers available for home landscapes.

Shows excellent winter hardiness. The pink rose grows across most of the United States in USDA growing zones 4-11.
