Why Are My White Drift Roses Turning Pink?

White Drift roses may change from a pale white into a light pink depending on the climate or a change in soil conditions. Consider bringing them into slightly cooler temperatures or adding an aggressive fertilizer if you’d prefer white flowers.

How To Prune White Drift Roses

Prune your White Drift roses to maintain the desired size and shape. In the late winter or early spring. Deadheading spent flower buds will encourage repeat blooms on these ground cover roses. Since they are fast growing shrubs, they will bounce back with vigor. A thick 2 inch layer of mulch across the root system will also help to retain moisture when it’s hot outside.

How Big Do White Drift Roses Get?

At maturity, White Drift rose bushes can grow up to 2 feet tall and 3 feet wide. You’ll want to leave about 3 feet between each rose bush to give them ample space to grow.

Do White Drift Roses Come Back Every Year?

White Drift roses are perennial flowers, meaning that they will regrow year after year. You can plan for your White Drift roses to be a permanent fixture in your garden if they are well cared for each season.
