Questions & Answers
Have a Question?
-
Does it come dormant
Yes, Sweet Drift Roses (Rosa 'Meiswetdom') do become dormant during the winter. Like most roses, they go through a period of dormancy in response to colder temperatures and reduced daylight hours, especially in regions with distinct seasons.
What to Expect During Dormancy:
-
Leaf Drop: As the plant enters dormancy, it will drop its leaves and stop producing new growth or flowers.
-
Reduced Maintenance: During dormancy, the plant requires less water and no fertilization. Pruning is often done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
-
Cold Hardiness: Sweet Drift Roses are generally hardy in USDA Zones 4-11, so they can handle the cold winters in most regions, including colder zones like 7 and 6.
-
Winter Protection: While these roses are hardy, in colder zones (Zones 4-5), it may be beneficial to apply mulch around the base of the plant after the ground freezes to protect the roots from extreme cold.
When spring arrives and temperatures warm up, the rose will break dormancy, produce new leaves, and begin flowering again.
