    I have both drift and flower carpet and you described exactly how my roses grow. Thank you for sharing. 🤗🌸
  • Im on a very tight budget and I was able to find the drift roses on sale at home depot. They're a little beat up so I probably won't get a show until next year but your video is making the wait worth it. Thank you for the video and I hope my garden is as half as beautiful as yours one day.
  • ok, between this video and your video on garden decor I was inspired by the drift roses and have ordered the Apricot ones for by back yard 🥰 I had to order them online from Home Depot because no one seems to carry them so 🤞🏼 . So happy I found your channel and I wanted to tell you I love your flute playing! I paint and when I am in my studio in the morning I listen to reiki music which includes a lot of the native flute… it is so beautiful!

    Hi thanks, I am subscribing. I am starting a "front yard" rose area in my New Mexico home, and was looking on YT for people with experience growing roses in desert-like environments. I guess Phoenix Arizona is adequate. I am thinking of having a green mulch type plant under the roses. Maybe you might make a video on what kind of mulch to put under roses in hot environments? At present, I am just going to plant some miniature clover as a green mulch. I enjoyed seeing the comparison between the drift roses and the carpet rose. I will be looking for them. (My roses are just "local Lowes and Tractor Supply type roses-- I'm not into big name nurseries, but they are all mostly orange and yellow. I would like to do all the colors, but I am not sure how to work out a color scheme. I like the "big flow" idea, with multiple plants of one color or type in each area. Sorry for so many questions! Thanks!!!
