Petite Knock Out® Rose (Rosa hybrida)
Petite Knock Out®
“Paint” a beautiful container or urn with Petite Knock Out®. This exquisite miniature shrub holds its own very well, doing triple duty as a thriller, filler and spiller! Plant more than one mini shrub in a larger container for jaw dropping gorgeousness. At only 18 inches tall and wide, it produces long-lived, fire-engine red buds and blooms that go on and on and on. Flowers are 1½ to 2 inches in diameter and dot dark green foliage from early spring through first frost.
Surprisingly low maintenance, Petite Knock Out® thrives in rich, well-drained soil that is neutral to slightly acidic. Provide water at the root line in moderate amounts, about one inch per week. Prune annually in spring. Cosmetic deadheading during the growing season keeps container show-pieces at their aesthetic best, but is not required for the plant’s health. Place in the sun. Best in USDA Hardiness Zones 4 to 10. Loma Vista Nursery grows Petite Knock Out® in 2 gallon pots.
Knock Out Rose® (Rosa ‘Knock Out’)
Knock Out Rose®
This full-size version of Petite Knock Out® is a favorite focal point in Midwest gardens! The Knock Out Rose® family was introduced 20 years ago and forever changed the landscape for hardy roses. There are as many reasons why as there are colors in the plant’s palette. Blooms come in a multitude of hues – from white, peach and pink to yellow, orange and deep red.
Average mature height and width is 3 to 4 feet. Easy to grow, the Knock Out Rose® does not require special care other than light pruning to maintain its size or cosmetic deadheading. It is versatile as a stand-alone shrub, as a stunning hedge with masses of sweeping color and as an anchor in a border or cutting garden. The more sun the better – a minimum of six hours of full sun daily helps produce non-stop flowers, which bloom from spring through the first frost. Plant in USDA Hardiness Zones 4 to 10. We grow the Knock Out Rose® in 1, 2 and 3 gallon containers.
Easy Elegance® ‘Yellow Brick Road’ Rose (Rosa ‘BAload’)
Yellow Brick Road Rose
Follow the road to your nearest independent garden center this spring for this sweet bloomer. Yellow roses provide a blend of joy and happiness to art-inspired gardens. Round and compact at 2 to 3 feet tall and wide, Easy Elegance® ‘Yellow Brick Road’ Rose is a picture of beauty with clusters of old-fashioned lemon-yellow petals. As the fragrant blooms mature, petals fade to resemble a color like rich buttercream.
Yellow Brick Road Rose is resistant to blackspot and mildew and is low maintenance. Its nectar-rich blooms attract butterflies and pollinators. Grow alone as a specimen shrub or in groupings for color effect. Ideal for front-of-the-border, as a foundation shrub, in a cutting garden or along walkways. Water consistently at the root base and apply a slow-release fertilizer according to package directions. Prune for size and aesthetics during the growing season.

Double blooms have dark pink outer petals that transition to orange and then blend with yellow at the center. Flowers nearly engulf the shrub from June through September. Mature height is 3½ feet tall and 4½ feet wide.
A fragrant rose, plant Coral Cove where its scent can be enjoyed. Give it plenty of sunshine in fertile, well-drained soil. Plant in spring or when temperatures are cooler.

Pollinators are attracted to the nectar of this beautiful rose.
Multi-stemmed, Kashmir Rose has an upright spreading habit and a mature height and width of 4 feet. Its shiny green foliage even has hints of red.
