The gardening world is
celebrating the long awaited pink version of the ever popular Knock Out Rose.
Staying true to the Knock Out performance this rose blooms profusely from early
summer through late fall. Blushing Knockout is as easy to grow and as maintenance
free as its parent. The shell pink flowers thrive even in high humidity where other
roses usually have to be sprayed. Considered to be drought tolerant and very
forgiving. Blushing Knockout is carefree and rewarding without demanding constant
attention from the gardener. NOTE -- we have had great results with Blushing
Knockout planted in partially shaded areas receiving around 3 hours of direct sun - blooms
more sparingly but does fine.
