One of my Bad and Ugly beds just got a lot better looking! Last weekend I found some gorgeous Knock Out roses at Lowe's for $15.95 each. I bought six of them to replace the dying, washed out azaleas. Wow, what a difference a few shrubs make!
Happy Halloween everyone!!
Wow! Those look great! Are they ever green?
ReplyDeleteThe knockout roses are a great plant. I live in Tupelo and have planted several over the past two years and they are doing well and are still full of blooms. I have never had any luck with roses before but these are totally different and so easy. They pretty much maintain themselves.
ReplyDeleteHey Susan! They aren't evergreen. I really did want something evergreen back there, but I also really wanted these plants. I figured the indian hawthorne (which is evergreen) is right in front of the knock outs. It is still growing and will eventually grow together to create a nice evergreen backdrop.
ReplyDeleteJudy H, thanks for stopping by! I love these little plants already. I can't wait until I see them growing this spring. I am hoping they get pretty tall.
Knockouts are only roses I can keep down here in Florida. Good luck with them. The indian hawthorne is a good idea!
ReplyDeleteI'm so enjoying the posts about your garden transformations...especially since I have spots in my garden that could do with a bit of love.
ReplyDeleteGetting there, but its a slow process.
