Rose Knock Out: The Greatest Landscape Rose

Recently, I've mentioned some of the new varieties of Knock Out roses, like Rose Double Knock Out and Rose Rainbow Knock Out, but I just wanted to touch on the original Knock Out Rose a little. This is the robust landscape rose that started it all, possibly changing the culture of rose breeding and rose gardening forever. After the original Knock Out, everyone wanted to make their roses as strong as they were beautiful. There is no reason your hybrid teas need to be sensitive to every fungus in your garden, and the Rose Knock Out has proven that.

In case you haven't heard, the Knock Out Rose is cold-hardy, disease resistant, and pest-resistant. It is probably the most blackspot resistant rose on the market. It will stand up to ravages by Japanese beetles and other insects. It is cold-hardy to winter temperatures as low as -20 degrees Fahrenheit, and has one of the longest bloom seasons of any rose, stretching from spring to fall.

This is a touch, beautiful, single-blooming landscape rose. It has made history by spawning a whole generation of hardy roses.
