Sweet Pink Drift Rose
Plant Bio:
Soft pink blooms cover the plant from mid-spring to the
first hard freeze of late fall. Easy to care for, vigorous,
and cold hardy. Glossy dark green foliage with excellent
disease resistance. Low spreading habit is perfect for
smaller gardens, filling gently around established plants,
in borders or along paths.
Watering Requirements
Moderately – when the top 3” of soil is dry. Especially during hot dry spells. At least 1” per week.
Feeding Requirements
Once a year with a balanced slow-release fertilizer, apply after the first wave of blooms appear.
Pruning Time & Tips
Annually in late winter or very early spring cut back to 6-8” above soil. Prune to rejuvenate new growth for next season.
Common Pests & Diseases
Chili Thrips and Cercospora Leafspot.
Maturity
1.5’ x 2.5’
Troubleshooting:
If you start to see light brown spots on leaves, which may also be wrinkled and curled, you could have thrips. In cases of a very severe infestation, the leaves may entirely dry up. If you suspect you have a thrip infestation, bring in a cutting to the garden center for help!
