How to Use Drift Pink Rose in the Landscape
Drift Roses are a cross between full-size groundcover roses and miniatures. From the groundcover parent, they kept their toughness, disease resistance and winter hardiness. From the miniatures, they inherited their well-managed size and repeat-blooming nature.
Talk about a match made in heaven! These graceful, arching little shrub roses are disease resistant plants that will perform beautifully for you in the landscape.
This rose simply shines when planted in multiples. Use the Pink Drift Rose as a ground cover, mass planting, as a border, or as a container plant.
Plant them all along your front walkway for a cheery welcome or line a white picket fence with a tidy row of them.
The plants will fill in a large open space in a short amount of time. Plant 2 – 3 feet apart for a quick fill. Use it alone in a mass planting for a continuous color palate.
The Pink Drift will look great growing in a patio container. Plant up multiple containers of Pink Drift Roses as a breezy solution to decorate your patio.
Drift roses are wonderful in landscape beds or cascading over a wall to soften the look. Or, or mix it with other flowering perennial plants. There are no bad combinations with this fabulous selection.
