Ceg, Are drift roses similar or the same as carpet roses?
Thank you all for posting the beautiful pictures. It’s been a long winter.
Gorgeous blooms!!Lovely flowers @Queenie60 @ceg @KaeKae
Here are some of mine, crocuses and snowdrops have already gone over. There are primroses everywhere and the first of the daffodils are coming out.

Drift roses and carpet roses are similar. They were developed by different breeders. Drift roses grow well here and are relatively disease free (a small feat in the Texas humidity). They are like knock out roses that spread out instead of up.

We’ve got daffodils, potted cherry blossom, our neighbour’s beautiful magnolia and camellias out. It’s the first blue sky here for weeks. I love this time of year. It sounds ridiculous but I can almost feel my brain fizzing with happy hormones when we start to get some sun and flowers - the winter is just so grey and overcast.
Wonderful thread! Love all of these beautiful flowers! Still chilly and dreary here in NJ so no blooms yet, and these pics are a real day brightener.![]()
It was 34 here today. I love this thread!
Gorgeous! I love Spring!![]()
