William Radler, a rose breeder in Wisconsin was fascinated by roses from a young age.
If you are looking for a low-maintenance rose bush, you should check out the Knock Out rose bush. He planted them for me once the danger of the last frost was over, and I have cared for them ever since. So a few years ago for Valentine’s Day instead of the dozen of pink roses my husband usually gave me, I was quite surprised to see four Knock Out rose bushes in containers.
You don’t need a green thumb but just a little time each week to tend to their needs. After doing research, I found that Knock Out rose bushes are by the far the easiest rose bush to care for. Roses have always been my favorite flower. At one point I shyed away from gardening thinking I didn’t have a green thumb like my grandfather, but I really wanted a rose bush. A lot of time and effort has to go into keeping up the appearance and well-being of your plants and flowers. Now that I have my own garden, I’ve realized that its a lot of hard work! My grandfather made it seem so easy. Unlike my cousins, I always wanted to assist him, especially when it was time to pick the strawberries. I would watch Gramps tend to his flower and vegetable gardens hoping to one day do the same with my own. It seemed to bring him peace and tranquility to work in his gardens. I remember as a child spending my summers in Atlanta with my grandparents, affectionately called Dear and Gramps. By the end of summer, they were six feet tall! These are my Knock Out rose bushes at the beginning of last spring.
