Knockout Rose

Best Shrub Rose Ever

Some rose experts call the knockout rose the best shrub rose ever, and for good reasons. It won top AARS honors in year 2000.

Knock Out rose is a very versatile landscape plant; I even recommend growingthese roses in containers on patios, and apartment or condo balconies.

It's definitely one of the best compact red rose bushes.

Companion plants can include catmint, french lavender, lobelia and hardy geraniums.

In the picture above roses are growing in a narrow curbside flower border.

The companion plants are Blue Iris, LambsEar, Fleebane and Hardy Geranium.

This photo gives you a good idea how this rose looks in mixed a flower border.
