Coral Drift® Rose

Plant in well-drained soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball. Space 2–3 feet apart. Water thoroughly after planting and mulch 2–3 inches deep, keeping mulch away from the canes.

Water deeply and regularly the first season; once established it is more drought tolerant than many roses. No deadheading is required for continuous bloom- the plant self-cleans. Prune lightly in early spring, cutting back by about one-third to remove dead wood and shape. Fertilize with a balanced rose fertilizer in spring and midsummer. Drift roses are bred for exceptional disease resistance and require far less maintenance than traditional hybrid teas. Monitor for black spot and aphids.
