Notes:
  • “The rose has long been a popular gardening plant, due in part both to its pleasant fragrance and colorful, romantic blossoms. Of the genus Rosa, whose name traverses French, Latin, Greek, and Persian language, the rose is a woody perennial loved for its beauty and scorned for its thorns. Despite its long history as a garden flower, the rose suffers from a variety of issues. For one, the rose is subject to diseases, pests, droughts, and floods. For another, the rose requires significant daily maintenance, including watering, site planning, pruning, and cold weather storage. That is why William Radler, a native Wisconsin rose breeder, worked tirelessly to cultivate the Knockout Rose. Introduced in 2000 by the Conard-Pyle Co./Star® Roses, Radler’s Knockout Rose is bred specifically as a low-maintenance, adaptive rose cultivar.” ---  “Double Knockout Roses” at www.thetreecenter.com/double-knockout-roses-popular-rose-country
