How To Plant Drift® Red Rose
Drift® Roses love the sun, and they’re happiest if they could receive six hours of it a day. It is recommended to keep a layer of mulch around the roots to help retain moisture as they like to be watered regularly. If you choose to plant these beauties in a container make sure it is a pot with good drainage quality and healthy soil. Drift® Roses enjoy a little fertilizer to feed the soul.
How To Water
Water your Drift® Red Rose a few times a week and really soak the soil, but be careful not to overwater your plant.
How To Fertilize
Use our Elements Starter Plant Food to feed the Drift® Red Roses after the roses are established and go through one bloom cycle.
How To Prune
Prune your roses in very early spring once you see signs of new growth emerging. You can cut your rose back by one half to two thirds of the total size of your plant. Expect your rose to almost triple in size in the coming months.
