These roses are related to the 'Double Knockout Roses' but are the single flowered versions. These are the most exciting new roses in years! Great for the landscape with excellent disease resistance, almost constant bloom from late spring through November, a neat bushy habit, and showy flowers in a variety of colors. These roses shine where we never would have put roses before! Perfect roses for any sunny landscape. They come in a variety of colors, the pink varieties and blushing (pale pink) are pictured below. The original Knockout Rose is a deep cherry red, and the Sunny Knockout is a cheery yellow. There is also a Rainbow Knockout, which is a smaller version, and has pale pink flowers with yellow centers and smaller leaves.
