Distant Drums Floribunda Rose will make you stop, look and listen up. Distant Drums is very hardy and grows much like a Floribunda in habit, drumming out clusters of pointed brunette buds that swirl open to reveal ruffles washed with orchid pink. All this set to music against dark green foliage makes for a toe-tapping commotion in the landscape. These bare root roses are shipped in the spring, allowing you to plant them while they are still dormant. Bareroot roses should be planted as soon as possible. If you are unable to plant your bareroot roses within a few days of receiving them, heel them in where you want to plant them. Dig a trench deep and wide enough to hold the roots and about 2-thirds of the top of your roses, place the roses in the trench and cover with soil until you are able to plant properly.
