#ProPlantTips for Care:
Plant Drift® Roses in full sun, as they need to receive at least 6 hours of sunlight a day, favoring the morning sun to dry their leaves. Give them water on a regular basis. Be sure to add a 3-4 inch layer of arborist mulch over the root system to keep it cool and moist. This is especially true of container-grown plants or those in raised beds. Cut down on your maintenance by installing an automatic drip irrigation system. It's far easier than you might think and the results are so worth it! For optimum flowering and disease resistance, planting areas with good air circulation.
Wait until early spring to prune back last year's growth down to 12 inches. Remove any broken, crossing, or winter-damaged branches. Learn about winterizing, and un-wintering your Roses in our Garden Blog, plus all the tips and tricks you need when pruning your new prize Rose bush!

Rose Bush FAQs
Where Is The Best Place To Plant Rose Bushes?
Rose Trees need a protected location and prefer full sun and favor the drying power of the morning sun and flower best in at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. Choose a location in good, enriched soil that drains well and has good air circulation.
What Is The Best Month to Plant Roses?
You can plant Roses any time if you are able to provide enough consistent moisture and attention. While there is not a specific month that is best, generally because it changes with temperatures, climate and growing zone. However, the easiest times of the year to get Rose bushes established in your landscape are in spring after the last frost date, and in fall about 4-6 weeks before the first frost.
Do Roses Come Back Every Year?
Rose bushes are deciduous woody perennial shrubs and will return bigger and better each year.
