Red Drift Groundcover Rose Care

‘Red Drift’ is hardy from Zone 4a- 11b. Like all roses, they prefer full sun, a rich but moist well-draining soil and regular watering and fertilizing with a slow release rose food such as Espoma Rose Tone. Mulch plants lightly to retain soil moisture when possible. Since it is a mounding plant, pruning isn’t needed besides removing broken or dead branches.

This is a groundcover rose so it is ideal for covering a large area. It grows 1 ½ ft. tall and 2 ½ ft. wide so plant it 3 ft. apart. Planted en masse it makes a show stopper landscape! Non-stop blooms all summer create the perfect garden so you can also use it as a border plant as well or put it in a cottage garden to highlight taller plants.
