Oh, gosh. I probably shouldn't give you my advice, Trish, because I would plant 40 roses, not 4, in a 28-foot circle. Hilarious!

I'm wondering, though, why you chose the drift roses for that space. They're so tiny and almost unnoticeable. I've also found that they're not as vigorous as I want them to be. The drift roses are compact versions of the larger Meidiland landscape roses, so if I wanted to use some non-finicky roses as a centerpiece, I'd probably choose something from that line. Would those be too big for you?

The bloom on Cherry Meidiland is similar in shape to the bloom on Pink Drift, but it's a more vibrant color and makes a better statement as a centerpiece, in my opinion.

There's also a Pink Meidiland if you want something in a more subdued shade of pink:
