KNOCK OUT® Hardy Shrub (Radler)

Perhaps the best-ever landscape Rose for four-season interest. Not only is it the most blackspot-resistant Rose we've ever grown, but it also stands up to Japanese beetles and other pests, needs only half a day of sunshine, blooms over an exceptionally long period, and offers foliage and fruit interest as well as lovely blossoms.

With great clusters of 3 1/2-inch blooms of fire-engine red, these flowers begin early in Rose season and continue for many weeks. The shrub then rests for a bit and repeats for the remainder of summer and well into fall! It's one of the longest bloom cycles in the Rose family and will fill your garden with bright color and sub-tle tea scent. And when the blooms finally end, the color continues with burgundy-violet fall foliage and orange-red hips.

Crown hardy to -20°F, this 3- by 3-foot shrub sneers at drought, humidity, and pests. Knock Out® never needs deadheading and is one of the very few Roses that earns the title "maintenance free." Zones 3-9.

Brilliant red orange

It’s party time for Polyanthas. There’s never been a Poly with this searing scarlet color. So let’s throw a Wing-Ding to celebrate. You’ll be surprised at the number of bright little long-lived blos-soms carried in each huge pyramid-shaped cluster. The sheer weight of those copious clusters gives the plant a slightly spilling habit to nod over a rock wall or break up the garden border. Shiny-clean deep green leaves add to the revelry of the glitzy blooms. Paint the town ‘scarlet’ red with this pretty Poly.
