Favorite Flowers – Pink Double Knockout Roses

I will admit, I use to turn my nose up at knockout roses.

Yes, I may be a bit of a bit picky about my roses.

But last year before my house was on tour I made a quick decision to add three ‘Pink Double’ Knockout Roses in the area near my arbor. It is one of the first things you see when you drive up and I wanted a big splash of color there.

And I liked the look of the Pink Doubles, they look a bit like a hybrid tea.

Plus I knew it was just the right addition to the blue, light pink, silver and white I had blooming there.

I never expected I would enjoy them so much and they would do so well.  I don’t think they were ever out of bloom this year.  I deadhead them when I wait on the mail every morning.  But they are super easy to care for, and I did not spray these roses.  Just normal fertilizer and watering.

Plus, they are reasonable.  I purchased two more for in front of each side of my picket fence by the rose garden for $10 each.  They had been $20 and that was before the fall clearances began.  I would not hesitate to add more.  I also have they Sunny Yellow, Double Red and Original Knockouts…. but the pink double is my very favorite.  Hope you might consider adding it to your gardens!
