The temperatures have fallen and it’s a little uncomfortable to be outside gardening right now. We humans have the luxury of staying indoors to shelter ourselves from the elements but those beautiful plants your installed, on the other hand, have no such refuge. Many plantings in our area turn dormant in the colder months as a way to hunker down and survive the cold season.
What’s so great about Knockout roses, anyway? The answer: There are too many reasons to count! They’re very dramatic, blooming from spring until frost in most cases. They suffer fewer insect and fungal issues than the old fashioned hybrids; they’re drought tolerant, versatile and easily pruned. There are so many excellent attributes that it’s almost hard to cite anything bad about them.
