The Drift Roses Popcorn Drift® boasts a captivating display of creamy white blooms that transform throughout the season, offering a delightful textural and visual experience. As spring unfolds, each flower opens as a soft, velvety bud, promising a cascade of color to come. The petals unfurl, revealing layer upon layer of rich, creamy white, each one with a smooth, almost satiny texture. In the center of the bloom, a touch of lighter cream or even a hint of lavender sometimes emerges, creating a captivating contrast. As the flower matures, the outer petals may take on a slightly ruffled appearance, adding to the whimsical charm.

As the Drift Roses Popcorn Drift® opens its blooms, a contrasting and complementary foliage display emerges alongside. In spring, new growth explodes in a wave of soft, lime green. Throughout the summer, this lime green hue matures into a richer, more established green, providing a backdrop that highlights the creamy white blooms without overwhelming them. As fall approaches, the foliage may begin to hint at subtle shifts in color.

How to Plant Drift Roses Popcorn Drift®

Choose the Right Spot

At least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily is ideal for abundant blooms. They’ll tolerate partial shade, but may flower less. Well-drained, fertile soil is best. If your native soil is heavy clay, amend it with compost or organic matter to improve drainage before planting. ### Measure the Space

Drift Roses Popcorn Drift® are compact growers, reaching a mature size of 2-3 feet tall and wide. This makes them a versatile choice for a variety of planting locations. When planting multiples, allow 3 feet of space between each plant to provide ample room for growth and air circulation.

Dig the Hole

Dig a hole roughly twice as wide and deep as the root ball of your Drift Roses Popcorn Drift®. This allows for proper root expansion and ensures the plant can establish itself securely. Loosen the soil at the bottom of the hole to encourage healthy root development. You can use a shovel or garden fork to break up compacted soil.

Plant It

Gently remove your Drift Roses Popcorn 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 in place.

Water Thoroughly

After planting, water your Drift Roses Popcorn Drift® deeply to settle the soil around the roots. Aim to soak the soil thoroughly, allowing any excess water to drain away.

Mulch and Care

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.

Sunlight

These sun-loving roses crave at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily to thrive and produce their best blooms.

Watering

Water regularly, especially during the first growing season and hot, dry spells. Aim to keep the soil consistently moist, but not soggy.

Soil

While adaptable, Drift Roses Popcorn Drift® prefer well-drained soil. If your soil is heavy clay, consider amending it with compost or organic matter to improve drainage.

Mulching

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.

Fertilizing

While not strictly necessary, a balanced rose fertilizer applied once every 6 weeks during the growing season (spring to early summer) can encourage even more blooms.

Pruning

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.

Winter Care

In colder climates (zones 4-11), 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.

Upon Arrival

Give your newly arrived rose a deep soak. Water the container thoroughly until water runs freely from the drainage holes.

During the First Year

Water your rose regularly, especially during hot and dry periods. Aim to keep the soil consistently moist, but not soggy. A good rule of thumb is to water deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch.

After the First Year

Established Drift Roses Popcorn Drift® are fairly drought tolerant. However, they’ll still appreciate deep watering during extended dry spells or periods of extreme heat.

Extra Tips

Water early in the morning to minimize evaporation. Water directly at the base of the plant, avoiding the leaves and flowers. Observe your rose and adjust your watering frequency based on the weather and your specific soil conditions.

Upon Arrival

No need to fertilize your new rose right away. Let it settle into its new environment and establish its root system before feeding.

During the First Year

Focus on establishing a strong root system during the first growing season. Hold off on fertilizing until after your rose has had a chance to flower for the first time.

After the First Year

Once established, fertilize your Drift Roses Popcorn 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 suitable options.

Extra Tips

Always follow the application instructions on the fertilizer label to avoid over-fertilizing, which 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.

When to Prune

The ideal time to prune your Drift Roses Popcorn Drift® is in late winter or early spring, before new growth emerges. Look for signs of dormancy with no leaves present.

Steps to Prune

Gather your tools: Bypass pruners and gloves are all you’ll need. Cut back the main canes by roughly half their length. Aim for a clean cut at a 45-degree angle, just above an outward-facing bud. Remove any dead, diseased, or weak canes entirely. Thin out crowded branches to improve air circulation within the plant.

After Pruning Care

Apply a light layer of compost or mulch around the base of the plant to retain moisture and encourage new growth. Water your rose well after pruning to help it recover from the process. Sit back and enjoy the explosion of blooms your healthy, pruned rose will produce.
