    Distant Drums is one of the first roses to show her buds in spring with deep purple new growth that grows into dark green foliage. DD flowers have a pink bud that opens to the softest mauve tones and fades toward the center to a creamy brown. Her color is the perfect palette, but what I adore the most about her is the myrrh fragrance. Distant Drums is a shrub rose with continual flushes throughout summer with regular deadheading. Strong stems with upward facing flowers make this rose an excellent & very popular cut flower.zones 5b-9.

    This rose bush didn't look healthy when it arrived. The Greenhouse asked me to give it some time, so I did. The Distant Drums Rose is looking better, but I don't believe it will bloom this year.

    Exactly what I ordered...

    I can't imagine ordering from anywhere else. I've bought from this company several times in the last few years as we finally were able to purchase our own house and they do.not.disappoint. The recent order was for "Distant Drums" roses and we simply can't wait until they start blooming. They arrived in perfect condition, we waited to let them accumulate to the area and now have them planted. Thank you so much for your pristine customer service. I simply will not shop anywhere else.

    Kinda Small

    Though the rose plant came
    Well packed and protected, i felts it was just a cutting that had rooted and was very small for the price I paid. I could have put that money toward a 2gal. Rose bush had my local Nursery

    Distant drums

    The rose arrived beautifully strong and healthy - as always with Greenhouse Nursery. I already have 2 Distant drums in my garden in Minneapolis, zone 4b, and they made it through the winter without protection (some die back). It's an amazing rose, prolific bloomer and very special color.
