My sister has been telling me how easy the Knock Out roses are to care for and how beautiful they are. I've only had a few rose bushes and haven't had great luck with them. Well, tonight I was at Home Depot (I know, I know, it sounds like I live at Home Depot) and I saw this double pink Knock Out rose. It was so gorgeous! I read the label and it blooms from spring until fall and can withstand severe heat which we have here in central Virginia. I didn't buy one because I really have to find a place to plant it. It requires 4 to 6 hours of full sun and I'm not sure I have that anywhere in my yard. Tomorrow I'm going to see if I have a spot suitable.
Will have to check out these roses, Sharon, ty for the tip. The pic is awesome ..

Those roses are beautiful! I love roses in my garden. I am lucky I suppose that they will grow very well on my clay soil and in our climate. Funny though that we always want to grow something that isn't right for our garden. I grow hosta's (hosta sieboldiana elegans) because I love the size and colour of the leaf, BUT I also have a lot of snails in my garden and by the middle of summer most leaves are full of holes...Oh well, at least I enjoy them part of the year, lol!
ReplyDeleteI would say, go for the roses Sharon! Plant them by your front door or your terrace so you get to enjoy them every day!
Congratulations! My husband says I'm banned from Home Depot and Lowe's, lol, says he got my pictures posted inside and out and for anyone spotting me to throw me out! BUT he never said I was banned from my local nurseries! haha Good luck with your Knockout..I have the single but the doubles are very pretty too!
