Care
White Drift® Rose Care
Plant in full sun for best flowering, though it will tolerate partial sun. Choose well-drained soil and avoid consistently soggy sites.
Water regularly after planting until established. Once established, water during extended dry periods to support steady growth and repeat blooming.
In early spring, apply a balanced slow release fertilizer to support healthy growth and bloom production.
Prune in late winter or early spring to remove any winter damage and encourage a fresh flush of growth. Light shaping after heavy bloom cycles can help maintain a tidy outline.
Container Growing: White Drift® Rose performs well in large patio containers with good drainage. Container-grown plants require more frequent watering than in-ground plantings. Plants hardy in the ground may require winter protection when grown in containers in colder zones.
