| A medium pink sport of the
famous Knockout rose. All attributes of the original apply here -
Bloom and growth is fast and furious with this variety, almost to the point
of being unstoppable! Blooms continuously from early Spring past
frost. As disease resistant as any we've seen. It is
drought and heat tolerant, treat it right and it'll knock its' self out
trying to please you. Humidity has no effect on the plant....blackspot and
mildew doesn't exist on this plant, even when planted next to water!
It's only shortcoming is a tendency to leafspot here during the winter
months, not really its' fault. Fresh spring growth does not continue
the spotting so it's easily handled with judicious trimming. If not the best
shrub type rose presently on the market, it's definitely very close to the
top! Planted in groups of five or more, like Knockout, it's an eye
stopper!
