PINK KNOCKOUT TM RADcon
'                         Home
 
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!
