Knockout Rose

This great series of plants are considered by many gardeners to be the best rose bushes for landscaping ever. The plants are the lifes work of Rose Breeder William Radler. His hard work has rewarded gardeners with roses that are extremely free flowering and easy to grow. These wonderful sandscape shrubs stand up to every known garden enemy - blackspot resistant and aphids don't seem to bother them and they just shrug off japanese beetles. The Knockout series are the best roses we offer for partly sunny areas,  blooming with only 4 hours or direct sunlight. Plants are repeat bloomers witht their first round of flowering starting in late spring / early summer with continued cycles of color right up through fall. The Plants are very compact and tight growing making them perfect as a small hedge and for tucking between perennials. In the winter the plants are covered with orange-red hips drawing in winter birds. The bush never needs deadheading (pelals will fall as they fade)  making the Knockouts the most maintenance free rose we have ever seen.. This is as close to "plant it, and forget it" as you will get with any type of rose bush..
