Features
This mutation of the break through shrub rose, ‘Radrazz’, (the Knock Out® rose), the Blushing Knock Out® rose is as tough and showy as its parent. The light pink color changes nicely into shell pink as the bloom ages, giving a very soft overall color effect at all stages. Under conditions of high light and high summer heat the bloom colors will be lighter at all stages of development. The softer color will fit into any garden situation and it is a perfect color companion to the Knock Out® rose, it is as carefree and winter hardy and it blooms as profusely and thrives in very humid climates where most other roses need spray maintenance. Self cleaning and a continuous bloomer, it doesn’t require dead-heading to keep blooming.
