Care:

For optimal results, plant Red Drift Rose in the fall by digging a hole that is the same size as the container it came in and one foot wider. After planting, backfill the soil and fertilize with a slow-release fertilizer in the spring and summer for optimum growth. To keep the soil moist and promote root growth, add 2-4 inches of mulch around the base and prune the plant to 12 inches tall, trimming back about 1/3 of its total size. Red Drift Rose is a low maintenance rose that thrives in full sun and well-drained acidic soil. It grows in zones 5-9 and does not require spraying for disease or pests.
