Wow! Thank you so much Cathy for submitting your beautiful and beloved Knock-out roses! You’ve been telling me about them for years and so pleased you have now shown them to the world through our initiative! Thank you so much Roberto and OKAY! team for all your great volunteering in collating and managing all the roses images submissions!
Thank you so very much….I do love my roses; they give me so much pleasure to look at and to pick & bring into my home. My Mother always loved this variety and she had many of them, they remind me of her. I am a long-haul covid recoveree and have not got to be outside and enjoy them as before but, my husband brings some inside for me and he has them now pruned for our winter months. If I lived in a warm year-round climate, they would indeed bloom all 12 months. here in Tennessee USA, they bloom April through late November if we have mild weather. Thank you again & I hope you enjoy looking at them! Cathy L. Henson
