I live in Austin, i have a drift rose bush in a side of the house that was there since I bought the house. Let me tell you, they've been through hell and back and have survived. Snow, full sun, construction, they keep on coming back. They grew on me, in thinking about planting more.
I'm in Ireland and l think this is what l call a rambling rose. I have one that looks just like yours and when l looked it up some years ago ,it was called American Pillar. My Aunt was over from the States and happened to admire the profusion of blooms and was delighted to hear the name.
So we have ramblers here and they're different. They can create a shrub but they have long canes arising from the base of the plant, like a climber. These Drift Roses were created from crossing a shrub and groundcover rose and are trademarked. They are all lovely though!
@@summerskyegardens Ah, so that's a Drift rose! I wonder if you would know? I had a standard rose, Arthur Bell, which flowered for several years and now looks like a wild rose from the hedgerow. Someone in a nursery told me that with standard roses , the rose is grafted onto a briar rose and if you cut back too much, it reverts to the briar. Is this true?
@@ainestewart8775 So it depends on who grew the rose... any rose can either be own root, which means the whole plant is the same, or grafted, which means the roots and bottom of the plant below the graft are a different rose, usually something hardier. You'd have to ask the nursery where you got it from what they sell; any rose can be either.

These are extremely resilient. Ohio Zone 6a/b here. I bought 3 peach drift roses last year, and just did not get around to getting them in the ground. They are doing totally fine in their nursery containers on my deck. Over winter! I just trimmed them up this week for spring. Can't wait to plant them ❤️
Thanks for the video, I had never heard of Drift roses before today and finally cleaning out a neglected flower bed found an old label 'Red Drift Rose'. Very easy roses, they bloomed almost all year without any help from me.
Thanks so much, these are the roses I’ve been looking for. If they grow in Texas and Montreal then I’m sure I can grow them here in central Massachusetts. They will be planted this spring by me and my daughter. Hardy roses at last❤
I live in Montreal Quebec at -25 Celsius and 2 feet of snow we don't cover them and in spring they look amazing.
Great to hear!

@Áine Stewart Love it! The "Skye" in my farm's name is for my daughter's middle name which is from the Isle of Skye :)

Yay love it! The peach color is so pretty too

Yes that's what I love to hear!
FYI in most parts of the country where it snows. Snow actually acts as a freeze barrier from the cold air which typically is colder than the snow.
Thanks for sharing ❤️🙏🏽❤️
