Sweet Drift(R) rose (Rosa 'Sweet Drift(R)') is a low, spreading groundcover rose that fills beds with clusters of soft pink, fully double blooms. You will get the best color and flower production in full sun, where plants stay dense and tidy. Mature size is typically about 12-24 inches tall with a broader, mounding spread, making it easy to edge a walkway, soften a slope, or mass along the front of a border.
Plant in well-drained soil and water regularly during establishment. Once rooted in, keep an eye on moisture during hot, dry stretches so flowering continues strongly. A layer of mulch helps even out soil moisture and protects the root zone in colder weather. Remove spent blooms if you want a cleaner look, but this variety is bred to keep producing clusters through the season with minimal fuss.
For routine care, prune in late winter or early spring to shape and encourage fresh growth. Feed lightly during the growing season according to your preferred rose program, and provide good air circulation to help maintain healthy foliage. With steady sun and basic care, Sweet Drift(R) can carry its bloom show from mid-spring into late fall.
