Joseph's Take
Drift Roses are fast growing and spreading and bloom throughout the warm seasons. I usually plant them in mass planting or at least three and I often use a random mixture of blooms in order to create a colorful display. They are easy to grow and need little care except an occasional dead heading.

Since lower spreading plants like the Drift® Rose tend to work better accompanying other larger plants, it is better to plant these in front of taller plants especially since they have a good spread to cover up unsightly empty spots and they add a great color to the landscape. A great planting companion is Blue Cascade Distyllium.
