<p>The Knockout Rose is perfect for today&#039;s gardener who wants to relax in their garden and not spend all their time fussing over high-maintenance plants.</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>==Knockout Roses==<br /> ::Knockout Roses are a type of landscape, or shrub, rose. They were developed by William Radler for Star Roses who owns the patent on them. Many experts say that Bill Radler has single-handedly brought rose genetics from the 20th century into the 21st century. The Knockout rose is the most widely sold rose in North America today. <br /> <br /> ::The Knockout Rose has taken the gardening world by storm because of its resistance to diseases and care-free nature. The Knockout rose is covered in blooms from spring until a hard freeze and is hardy from zone 5 to 9. Catalogs often report the growth habit to be 3 to 4 ft high and wide. Realistically, the plant will reach 4.5 to 5 ft high and wide. <br /> <br /> ::There are several varieties available (with more in the works to be released in the future):<br /> <br /> :::1. Red Knockout- the original, cherry red blooms.<br /> <br /> :::2. Double Red Knockout- full, double cherry red flowers look just like a classic rose.<br /> <br /> :::3. Pink Knockout- bright pink blooms.<br /> <br /> :::4. Double Pink Knockout- bright pink, fully double blooms.<br /> <br /> :::5. Rainbow Knockout- pink bloom with yellow center, more compact growth. In hot, humid climates, Rainbow has been known to be suseptible to powdery mildew.<br /> <br /> :::6. Blushing Knockout- pale pink blooms.<br /> <br /> :::7. Sunny Knockout (new release in 2009)- blooms open lemon yellow and fade to white.</div>
