How to Grow
Light: Sun (> 6 hours sun)
Water: Try to keep the soil evenly moist, especially in their first growing season. Never allow the foliage to remain wet into the evening; water early in the day.
Spacing: 3 - 4 ft.
Fertilizing: To keep the flowers coming, feed your roses with a fertilizer blended especially for roses. This can be done after each bloom cycle.
Winterizing: Spread a layer of composted manure, compost, or shredded leaves over the base of the plant in late fall after the ground freezes. Covering these mounds and the lower parts of the bushes with evergreen boughs will add protection. Pull the mounding material away from the stem as new growth emerges in spring. Prune injured branches over when new buds emerge in spring.
Maintenance & pruning: Prune to remove deadwood, to control or direct growth, and to promote flowering. Wait until growth breaks in early spring before pruning. Every 2 or 3 years, remove about one-third of the old branches to stimulate new, fresh growth. Remove faded flowers to encourage blooming.
Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:
Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:
Not sure just how many plants will fit in your garden? Our calculator gives you the exact amount of plants required for your space. Simply update the values and the calculator will re-calculate accordingly. Spacing information can be found in the 'How to Grow' tab on each plant's page.
I submitted this purchase on 05/02/25. But I tried to cancel it on 05/04/25 for some reasons. I couldn’t find a way to cancel it. Finally I wrote a email to cancel this purchase On 05/04/25. But they didn’t check my email. When I called them on Monday afternoon05/05/25. They told me they had shipped those roses 05/05 before they read my email.I think this situation is unfair.

The blooms, come out briefly as peach, and then quickly turn to pink. What a disappointment as I had needed peach and spent over $500. for a drift rosees that and NOT AS ADVERTISED! Again, great gardens need to understand "truth in advertising". Don't say peach when in reality the blooms quickly turn to native pink! Damn-it. That really screws me up!
Hello! We're sorry you're unsatisfied with your order. Like many flowers, Peach Drift® Rose will bloom a true peach shade, but then the flowers will naturally fade to a pink color. This does not mean your flowers a reverting, only that your plant is healthy and spending its blooms like it should! Our horticulture experts would love to take a closer look to confirm the situation. Please email your order number and photos of the plant, and our team will be happy to assist you. We look forward to helping!
Do they have prickers which might fend off deer?
Or are they deer resistant?
Even though roses, including Peach Drift® Rose, have thorns they aren't deer resistant.
