This easy-care variety thrives with minimal effort, bringing bursts of deep pink flowers from spring right up until frost. It’s the perfect solution for busy gardeners or anyone who wants long-lasting color without the hassle. Plus, its disease resistance means you can spend less time worrying and more time enjoying the vibrant blooms in your garden oasis.
Drift Roses Pink Drift® boasts an abundance of deep pink blooms that transform throughout the season. Each flower opens as a soft, velvety bud, promising a display of color to come. As the blossom unfurls, it reveals layer upon layer of rich, rosy pink petals. The center of the flower starts a touch lighter, sometimes with a hint of lavender, creating a captivating contrast. The texture of the petals is like silk, smooth and delicate to the touch, yet surprisingly resilient against the elements.
The Drift Roses Pink Drift® isn’t just about the stunning blooms - it boasts attractive foliage that complements the flowers and adds visual interest throughout the season. As new growth emerges in spring, the leaves unfold in a soft, lime green hue. They’re smooth and supple to the touch, with a delicate, waxy sheen that adds a touch of elegance to the plant. The leaves are finely serrated along the edges, but not prickly, offering a gentle texture.
At least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily is ideal for abundant blooms and healthy growth. They tolerate partial shade, but may flower less and grow leggy. Well-drained, fertile soil is best. If your soil is heavy clay, amend it with compost or organic matter to improve drainage before planting.
Drift Roses Pink Drift® are compact, reaching 2-3 feet tall and wide. This makes them versatile for many planting locations. When planting multiples, allow 3 feet of space between each plant for proper growth and air circulation.
Dig a hole roughly twice as wide and deep as the root ball of your Drift Roses Pink Drift®. This allows for root expansion and helps the plant establish securely. Loosen the soil at the bottom of the hole to encourage healthy root development.
Gently remove the Drift Roses Pink Drift® from its container and loosen any circling roots. Position the plant in the hole so the crown (where the roots meet the stem) sits at ground level. Backfill the hole with soil, tamping it down gently to eliminate air pockets and secure the plant.
After planting, water the Drift Roses Pink Drift® deeply to settle the soil around the roots. Aim to soak the soil thoroughly, allowing any excess water to drain away.
Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base of the plant (avoiding the stem) to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature. Refresh the mulch layer as needed throughout the season. Water regularly, especially during the first growing season and hot, dry spells. Aim to keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Check the soil moisture by sticking your finger a few inches below the surface. Water again if the soil feels dry to the touch.
This rose bush isn’t just about aesthetics, it’s about creating a sanctuary in your backyard. The delicate fragrance of the roses, soft and sweet, will fill the air with a touch of magic. And because Drift Roses Pink Drift® are naturally resistant to pests and diseases, you can spend less time worrying and more time unwinding in your personal oasis.
Don’t settle for a garden that’s just green and pleasant. Bring a touch of effortless elegance and season-long charm to your outdoor space. Buy your Drift Roses Pink Drift® today and watch your garden transform into a haven of tranquility and beauty.
These sun-loving roses thrive with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
Water regularly, especially during the first growing season and hot, dry spells. Aim to keep the soil moist but not soggy.
While adaptable, Drift Roses Pink Drift® prefer well-drained soil. If your soil is heavy clay, consider amending it with compost or organic matter to improve drainage.
Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base of the plant (avoiding the stem) to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature. Refresh the mulch layer as needed throughout the season.
While not strictly necessary, a balanced rose fertilizer applied once every 6 weeks during the growing season can encourage even more blooms.
Prune lightly in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. Remove dead, diseased, or crossed branches to maintain good air circulation and encourage bushier growth.
In colder climates, after the first frost, you can mound a layer of soil or mulch around the base of the plant for extra winter protection. Remove the mounding in spring once the danger of frost has passed.
When your rose arrives, water it deeply and thoroughly. Let the water soak down to the roots, allowing for good drainage.
Water your newly planted rose regularly, especially during hot and dry periods. Aim to keep the soil consistently moist, but not soggy. Check the soil moisture by sticking your finger a few inches below the surface. Water again if the soil feels dry to the touch.
Established Drift Roses Pink Drift® are more drought-tolerant. However, watering remains important during extended dry spells or periods of intense heat. Aim to water deeply when needed, allowing the water to penetrate to the root zone.
Water early in the morning to allow the soil to dry throughout the day. Avoid watering the leaves directly, as this can promote fungal diseases. Focus on watering the base of the plant where the roots reside. Observe your rose and adjust your watering frequency based on weather conditions and the specific needs of your plant.
No need to fertilize your new rose upon arrival. Allow it to settle into its new environment before feeding.
During the first growing season, focus on establishing a strong root system. Hold off on fertilizing until after your rose has had a chance to flower for the first time.
Once established, fertilize your Drift Roses Pink Drift® approximately every 6 weeks during the active growing season (spring to early summer). A balanced rose fertilizer or a slow-release organic fertilizer are both good options.
Always follow the application instructions on the fertilizer label. Over-fertilizing can damage your rose. Water your rose well before applying fertilizer to prevent burning the roots. Stop fertilizing in late summer as your rose begins to go dormant for the winter.
The ideal time to prune your Drift Roses Pink Drift® is in late winter or early spring, just before new growth begins.
Using sharp bypass pruners, make cuts at a 45-degree angle just above a healthy outward-facing bud. Aim to remove roughly one-third to one-half of the overall plant height, depending on your desired size and shape. Remove any dead, diseased, or broken canes.
Once pruned, clean up any debris around the base of the plant. Apply a light layer of mulch to retain moisture and protect the newly exposed stems. Water your rose well to encourage new growth.
