Red Drift Groundcover Rose Care Red Drift is hardy from Zone 4a- 11b. Like all roses, they prefer full sun, a rich but moist well-draining soil and regular watering and fertilizing with a slow release rose food such as Espoma Rose Tone. Mulch plants lightly to retain soil moisture when possible. Since it is a mounding plant, pruning isnt needed besides removing broken or dead branches.
