#ProPlantTips for Care:

Modern Rose care can seem daunting, but we promise this Rose is as easy to care for as Rose bushes come! Site selection is actually the most important aspect. Plant this lovely compact bush somewhere it can bask in the sun all day long for the best blooms! It's a real sun lover. Making sure the soil is well draining is important as well! Don't forget to add a thick layer of Mulch to hold in moisture and insulate the root system.

Groundcover Rose bushes, like others in the Drift® series, are notoriously easy to maintain and extremely disease resistant! No need to worry about common Rose ailments anymore! If you'd like, you can fertilize your Drift® each spring. A slow-release or controlled-release fertilizer should do the trick and leave your shrub happier and healthier than ever.

Early each spring, after the last frost of the year has passed, it's always a good idea to prune back Drift® Groundcover Rose at least six inches. Pruning Roses allows for better, bushier growth each year.

Rose Bush FAQs

Where Is The Best Place To Plant Rose Bushes?

Rose bushes prefer full sun and favor the drying power of the morning sun and flower best in at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. Choose a location in good, enriched soil that drains well and has good air circulation.

What Is The Best Month to Plant Roses?

You can plant Roses any time if you are able to provide enough consistent moisture and attention. While there is not a specific month that is best, generally because it changes with temperatures, climate and growing zone. However, the easiest times of the year to get Rose bushes established in your landscape are in spring after the last frost date, and in fall about 4-6 weeks before the first frost.

Do Rose Bushes Come Back Every Year?

Rose bushes are deciduous woody perennial shrubs and will return bigger and better each year.
