Do you love a garden full of color...but you have little or no time to spend pampering the plants? Oh my gosh...you must check out Knock Out Roses! In Houston, they bloom all year long...and are a beautiful addition to your landscaping. There are different types of Knockouts....different colors....but all are low maintenance. They are disease resistant; you don't have to "dust them". Just deadhead them periodically to spur on new growth...and you will be amazed and gratified by their beauty.
When I read up on them, the article says they will grow to 3 feet. NOT! Mine are 6 feet tall...and I whack them every year!! They are great for a long bed against a fence; they are very pretty backdrop to a swimming pool.
They love the sun...in fact, prefer the sun. Yes, you'll have to water them in the 90+ degree heat in the summer.
Any of your local nurseries will carry them, and they are affordable.
SO, are ya a lazy gardener, but love to look out at pretty flowers? KNOCK OUT ROSES are your solution.
