Deep pink/light red.
As you might suspect, this sister seedling of the fame Knock Out  has some sisterly similarities – same great blackspot resistance, same deep pink color & similar grey-green foliage. Yet, as is often the case with sisters, there are those all-important differences to tout – a few more petals & a more compact rounded habit. If you love one, you’ll likely love the other. Medium/Compact & rounded.

This flame-red offspring of the famous Knock Out rose kicks disease resistance up a notch higher! Home Run not only has phenomenal fortitude against blackspot, but also has complete resistance to powdery mildew and high tolerance to downy mildew. Nearly always in flower, the rounded, bushy plants hit a grand slam in the landscape and score lots of points in a pot, too. Edmunds' Roses

“Knock Out” set the stage for black spot resistance and you will probably see a multitude of “Knock Out” knockoffs as the wave of the future. Fortunately, this medium pink is a color mutation or “sport” of the original and boasts a softer, easier color while still maintaining the original’s great plant qualities….a great rounded habit, single flower form and “no spray” black spot resistance. Great for mass plantings where a carefree rose is needed.

Rainbow Knock Out

This is the newest addition to the famous Knock Out rose family from Bill Radler and is the second to receive All-America honors. More compact than earlier introductions of the Knock Out series, it’s even more floriferous – hard-to-believe, but true! Coral-pink blooms painted with rich yellow at the base nearly cover the plants from spring until frost. This colorful addition for beds and borders is as unaffected by blackspot as its predecessors with an added bonus of resistance to mildew and rust. The hardy-to-Zone 4 plants set a nice display of rose hips in autumn for a bit of winter color.

Vick's Caprice
(no photo available)

Mr. Vick found this striped flower sport on an ‘Archiduchess Elisabeth d’Autriche’ in his Rochester, New York garden in 1891. Its flowers are large, fully double, and cupped. Its most remarkable feature is the floral coloration - an irregular striping of soft pink and lilac with random flecks of white. Like its parent, it has an upright habit, soft green foliage, few thorns, an excellent fragrance, and makes a very nice cut flower.

Souvenir de la Malmaison

Souvenir De La Malmaison

First introduced in 1843 to commemorate the famous rose garden established by Josephine I near Paris. It is considered to be the best of the French bourbons and certainly the most reliable for repeat bloom and adaptability. The many-petaled, blush pink flowers open flat and quartered and are endowed with wonderful spicy-sweet perfume. The plants are compact with wide, dark green, semi-glossy foliage. Ideal for the front of the border or containers.

A mild confusion surrounds this rose, since it is apparently the same plant that was also sold much later under the name ‘Jacques Cartier’. ‘Marchesa Boccella’ is in constant bloom, one of the few members of the class to justify the "perpetual" in its name. The delicate pink flowers are flat, petal-crowded confections that sit in clusters of three atop healthy, jade green foliage.
