The Knock Out Rose

Knock Out Rose

 

At the top of my gotta do list is buying a few new rose bushes.   I’ve planted my beloved gladiola and calla lily bulbs, planted the perennials, and have the herbs ready to get me through the year - now I want a few new rose bushes.  I’m thinking of grabbing one of these beauties - to go along with the MUST HAVES: Mr. Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, Tropicana, 49er, and Queen Elizabeth. 

The rose above is the Knock Out Rose and has become pretty popular in its own right.  It’s said to be taking the gardening world by storm.  Apparently it’s maintenance free and resistant to black spot, beetles, mildew and drought.  I’ve read that Knock Out even blooms on into winter in some places.  It also has 10 times more flowers per shrub than other rosebushes.
