Drift roses in my rose garden

11 years ago

Hello everybody! I enjoy very much seeing roses and rose garden pictures posted here and I want to share mine. I like to plant drift roses in front my flower beds because they are low growing, ever blooming (almost)) and resist diseases.

Love and Red drift


Julia Child and Popcorn drift


Hot Cocoa and Pink drift


Asiatic lilies and Pink drift


Tiffany and Apricot drift


Electron, Cl Pinkie and Sweet drift

I hope you enjoyed!)

    An artist! Wonderful. Love Tiffany with Apricot drift. And Electron pops with the lighter pinks. Yum.

    Is the white flower in the first picture Baby's Breath? Very effective.

    Thank you all for your lovely comments!

    I am not good with mixing different colors, so when I am planning my garden, I try to stay in particular color, but different shades or at least do classic combinations.

    Irisgal, yes, it is Baby`s Breath in my red/white rose flower bed. I love this plant also. It has short life, so I sow seeds couple times during the summer.

    I"m so jealous. Our roses up north are still getting buds, my lilies are really going to put on a show this year. Soon...enjoyed your photos.

    love your combos of drifts and other roses. I think they complement each other greatly. I love Popcorn Drift and i do have one. Thanks for giving me the idea of combining it with another rose.

    How did I miss this mouth watering display of photos? Openmoon, you do have a wonderful talent for combining different plants and working with color. Those pink lilies and pink drift roses were stunning, as well as your climbing Bonica(?) and coral drift and more lovely lilies. Oh, heck, I love them all. Don't forget to post more photos this spring. Diane

    You have a gift...these roses are beautiful. I am not familiar with these roses but I will sure look for them. I have several places where I could use them. Hope they are not hard to find.

    I don't know how I missed this thread. So beautiful and very impressive, openmoon. Your Drift roses look great, everything does.

    Thank you guys! I appreciate your comments! This is a good time of the year for planning new additions to the garden. I`m thinking of adding some Popcorn drifts in front of my Walking on Sunshine rose`s border, also I`m going to order Speciosum lilies and plant them in back of rose bed (they should be very tall and good long lasting flowers) I just looove roses/lilies combination! We will see!)

    I love the Julia Child's and Popcorn Drift combo!

    Love your drifts.

    I'm going to try something like that--I ordered 3 Toscana Vigorosas (red) to scatter at the feet of some other roses. Hope they end up looking the way I'm seeing them in my imagination.

    Anybody grow Toscana Vigorosas? I'd love to see some pics.
