Double Knockout

Deep pink/light red. As you
might suspect, this sister seedling of the fame Knock
Out has some sisterly
similarities – same great blackspot
resistance, same deep pink color & similar grey-green
foliage. Yet, as is often the case with sisters, there
are those all-important differences to tout – a
few more petals & a more compact rounded habit.
If you love one, you’ll likely love the other. Medium/Compact &
rounded.

Home Run

Nursery and their supplier |
This flame-red offspring of
the famous Knock Out rose kicks disease resistance up a notch higher!
Home Run not only has phenomenal fortitude against blackspot, but also
has complete resistance to powdery mildew and high tolerance to downy
mildew. Nearly always in flower, the rounded, bushy plants hit a grand
slam in the landscape and score lots of points in a pot, too.

Rounded, bushy plant is
easy to grow and highly disease resistant. Blooms are magenta with
5-7 petals. Looks stunning in mass plantings.

Pink
Knock Out

Photo courtesy of Regan
Nursery and their supplier |
Knock Out set the stage for black
spot resistance and you will probably see a multitude of Knock Out
knockoffs as the wave of the future. Fortunately, this medium pink is a
color mutation or “sport” of the original and boasts a softer,
easier color while still maintaining the original’s great plant
qualities….a great rounded habit, single flower form and “no
spray” black spot resistance. Great for mass plantings where a
carefree rose is needed. |
Rainbow
Knock Out

Nursery and their supplier
|
This is the newest addition to the famous Knock Out
rose family from Bill Radler and is the second to receive All-America
honors. More compact than earlier introductions of the Knock Out series,
it’s even more floriferous – hard-to-believe, but true! Coral-pink
blooms painted with rich yellow at the base nearly cover the plants from
spring until frost. This colorful addition for beds and borders is as
unaffected by blackspot as its predecessors with an added bonus of
resistance to mildew and rust. The hardy-to-Zone 4 plants set a nice
display of rose hips in autumn for a bit of winter color. |
Sally Holmes

Large, tightly packed trusses of rich, ivory-white single flowers with
golden centers on a vigorous, compact bush. `Sally Holmes' has proven to
be one of the most outstanding shrub roses. It is now rated the second
highest by the American Rose Society. A wonderful shrub rose that should
be in the gardens of all those who love white roses. Over 60 blooms to a
truss. Always in bloom

Description |

Vick's Caprice
|
Mr. Vick found this
striped flower sport on an ‘Archiduchess Elisabeth d’Autriche’ in
his Rochester, New York garden in 1891. Its flowers are large, fully
double, and cupped. Its most remarkable feature is the floral coloration
- an irregular striping of soft pink and lilac with random flecks of
white. Like its parent, it has an upright habit, soft green foliage, few
thorns, an excellent fragrance, and makes a very nice cut flower. |
Souvenir de la Malmaison 
Photo courtesy of Edmunds' Roses
|
First introduced in 1843 to commemorate the
famous rose garden established by Josephine I near Paris. It is
considered to be the best of the French bourbons and certainly the most
reliable for repeat bloom and adaptability. The many-petaled, blush pink
flowers open flat and quartered and are endowed with wonderful
spicy-sweet perfume. The plants are compact with wide, dark green,
semi-glossy foliage. Ideal for the front of the border or containers. |

Marchesa Boccella

|
A mild confusion
surrounds this rose, since it is apparently the same plant that was also
sold much later under the name ‘Jacques Cartier’. ‘Marchesa
Boccella’ is in constant bloom, one of the few members of the class to
justify the "perpetual" in its name. The delicate pink flowers
are flat, petal-crowded confections that sit in clusters of three atop
healthy, jade green foliage. |
