The Knockout®
Rose ranges from 3 to 5 feet tall and equally wide. It produces multiple
clusters of terminal blooms, each 3 to 3.5 inches across. These very light, fragrant flowers come in
many colors and will bloom from spring until frost. Humidity doesn’t seem to bother the Knockout
Rose, and it’s drought and cold tolerant. It’s somewhat shade-tolerant but does need about six
hours of full sun per day. True to its low maintenance reputation, the Knock Out Rose doesn’t
require deadheading and is resistant to aphids, powdery mildew and black spot, the scourge of rose
enthusiasts. Choose a well-drained site with good air movement. It’s perfect for grouped planting
or even hedges. The foliage turns from a lustrous green to burgundy in the fall. Double Knockout
Roses are more floriferous than regular Knockout Roses and they raise the bar with petal counts of
18-25, twice the number of Knockout, borne 3-6 on a stem. The additional petals present a fuller,
richer pinkish/red inflorescence that is simply breathtaking. Plant 48” apart. Zones 4 – 9

Flower Carpet® Roses
This award winning series of

Blooms appear in mid to late spring and continue into fall. All varieties
have excellent disease resistance but the new generation Flower Carpet®
roses, (Amber, Scarlet and Pink Supreme), have increased heat and
humidity tolerance and improved disease resistance. Low maintenance,
self-cleaning plants need only a trim in late winter or early spring.

Roses™
TM
This 3-4’ deciduous shrub has arresting
rose red nodding tubular flowers in MayJune. But like so many shrubs of special
interest to perennial gardeners, it’s the
variegated foliage that offers a striking
presence in the landscape all season long.
Leaves are green with bright yellow
margins. What a background for those red
flowers! PP#12666

Zones 4 - 8
Whether you like blueberries or not,
use Pink Icing™ as an ornamental for
its stunning spring and winter foliage.
New growth emerges in pink hues and
combines with blue and dark green
and in mild climates the winter foliage
becomes breath-taking as it turns to
turquoise blue. White flowers in spring
followed by robust blueberries in midsummer are an added bonus. 3-4’ tall
mounding foliage. Self-pollinating.
Plant 36” apart.
