Description

An addition to the Knockout™ line of carefree Roses, Blushing Knockout™ is as gratifying and foolproof as its fellows. Individually, the blossoms are modest, 3 1/2 inch rounds of light pink petals, but they are borne in such profusion from early summer through early fall that the impact is just what the name claims. As flowers mature, the color fades to shell pink, adding depth to the display. Plants combine an exceptional resistance to blackspot and mildew with outstanding winter hardiness, and because the petals fall from the flowers as they fade, this rose doesn't need deadheading,
