Plant Drift Rose in a sunny location with well-drained soil; it tolerates a range of soil types including loam, chalk, and clay as long as drainage is adequate. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system, then keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Apply a balanced rose fertilizer in early spring and again after the first flush of blooms. Mulch annually with organic matter to retain moisture and suppress weeds. In cold climates, protect the root zone with a layer of mulch in winter.
