Clusters of petite flowers bloom in abundance for an extended season of color. Glossy dark green, disease resistant foliage on a vigorous, hardy, carefree shrub. Perfect for use at the front of borders, or plant to spread gently over a rock wall or along garden pathways.
Best grown in full sun in rich, fertile with adequate moisture, well-drained soils. It may also be turning yellow because of too much water or fertilizing. The actual frequency of watering will depend on your soil and climate as well as the age of the plant. Try watering a few mornings a week. Water slowly at the base of the plant, until the soil is wet 12 to 18" deep.
Drift roses should be fertilized each spring with a slow-release or controlled-release fertilizer. Another application in late summer would help plants bloom better into the fall. Mulch is important as it reduces weed problems, and prevents the surface soil from drying out so quickly.
Grow in well-drained, moderately fertile soil in a sheltered, sunny site. Protect in winter in cold areas.
For best performance, it is recommended to cut it back every year in early spring after the last threat of frost has passed.
