This bright, bubble gum pink version of the red Double Knock Out will perk up your garden with classically shaped flowers that bloom from early spring to first frost. The double rose blooms express a slight, spicy fragrance. The foliage is a deep, mossy green. Expect a rounded, bushy habit, maturing at 3 to 4 feet high and wide, making it an appropriate choice as a low hedge or accent. Use behind lower-growing perennials for long season color. Can be planted in any number of design schemes, such as in flanking pairs, massed, or as a focal specimen. With all those flowers, you could use it for a cuttings garden or feature in vases or in a gorgeous table centerpiece. Can also be grown in pots.

Dig a planting hole of 2 feet by 2 feet, with 3 feet of space between plants. Roses do best in a well-drained, loamy soil containing organic compost. Water thoroughly after planting.
