Ducher is another lovely shaped shrub rose that is set it and forget it here in South LA. Just elegant and lovely like the sweet drift. Ducher is twice as wide as the sweet drift however, and Ducher can handle a half day of shade and morning shade at that! (unusual for roses here due to humidity)
Anyway, of all the drifts, sweet drift is THE best. I don't plant any of the other drift roses any longer. I've tried some of the other ones and they just don't do as well as sweet drift. I call her a shrub rose if you plant more than one because she self sows and gets to be more like 4 feet tall and 3 feet wide after several years. If you plant one then i suppose you could call her a groundcover rose.
