If you have never grown a rose before and are daunted by the thought, the Knock Out rose is for you.  Knock Out was first introduced in 2000 and called a "breakthrough shrub rose" by the All-American Rose Selections because of its exceptional disease resistance and hardiness.  It was one of three roses to win the prestigious AARS award for outstanding garden performance in 2000.

Knock Out roses are lovely planted en masse where their numerous, bright single blooms form a swath of color.  They are equally at home in commercial landscapes and the home garden.

Knock Out was selected as a Texas Superstar
