Our ‘Blushing Knockout’ is in its glory this week. By far it is our best performing of the 12  knockout shrubs we have. This rose has formed a very round and disease free shrub now standing almost 5 ft tall!

  1. Dear Chris, I love my Knockouts. They are so reliable, and easy for amateurs like me. But I feel guilty that somehow they are not ‘real’ roses. I feel better knowing that a rosarian like you grows them. ‘Blushing’ is beautiful. Pamela

    This pink variety looks gorgeous. My (red) Knock Outs did not appreciate the heat and drought we had this year. Yours looks very happy.

    Gorgeous photos. I was trying to take photos of my knockouts today, but I was disappointed with the results. I love how the knockouts keep on blooming, till hard frost puts them temporarily to sleep.

    Those Knockouts are winners for blooms. I do not have the Blushing Knockout. Yours looks loaded with blooms yet. So pretty.
