The Knock Out rose was introduced in 1989 by William Radler. It rapidly became a favorite rose for many as it proved to be sturdy, disease resistant, and also beautiful. In 2004, Double Knockout came out and we have been growing it for the past decade. All our other roses died for one reason or another, but we have two bushes of Double Knockout which are thriving. Japanese Beetles love them as food , but one or two traps seem to take care of that every year. So, here is my entry to Cee’s CFCC: Flowers:

Thanks Tina! The only thing that could affect these roses are the Japanese Beetles. I just put a couple of traps beginning late May to prevent them from chewing through the rose bushes.

I have planted various kinds of rose over the years, and Double Knock Out has been the most resilient and as beautiful as any other. Thank you for commenting, Aletta!

Amazing close up, Hien. Love the bright pop of red and the clarity you brought through. It really does sound like a resilient rose that will grow in the face of any challenge. Lovely to hear you have been growing it for a while. Hope you are well over there and take care 🙂

Thank you for you kind comments, Mabel. This past year, everyone has been staying home. That has forced me to pay more attention to our plants, and it’s not a bad thing at all.

We have this rose as well and many other roses as it is rose-growing country here. We have to spray most of our other roses regularly against rust.
Nicely edited with the background in the complementary colour.
All the best

Growing roses has a long tradition in England. There is no garden without roses here – a garden without roses is no garden 😉
