102 The Perennial Farm is “The Delivery Specialist” with deliveries to most locations 2-3 times per week The Knockout Rose ranges from 3 to 5 feet tall and equally wide. It produces multiple clusters of terminal blooms, each 3 to 3.5 inches across. These very light, fragrant flowers come in many colors and will bloom from spring until frost. Humidity doesn’t seem to bother the Knockout Rose, and it’s drought and cold tolerant. It’s somewhat shade-tolerant but does need about six hours of full sun per day. True to its low maintenance reputation, the Knock Out Rose doesn’t require deadheading and is resistant to aphids, powdery mildew and black spot, the scourge of rose enthusiasts. Choose a well-drained site with good air movement. It’s perfect for grouped planting or even hedges. The foliage turns from a lustrous green to burgundy in the fall, and the new growth is slightly burgundy, too. Double Knockout Roses are more floriferous than regular Knockout Roses and they raise the bar with petal counts of 18-25, twice the number of Knockout, borne 3-6 on a stem. The additional petals present a fuller, richer pinkish/red inflorescence that is simply breathtaking. These blooms are about 2 ½ inches wide. But don’t let the smaller sized blooms fool you—they make up for their size in abundance. The new growth is a dramatic burgundy red. Knockout and Double Knockout Roses will be a spectacular addition to every garden. Along with the eye-catching blooms and superior performance they offer wonderful versatility of use.

Drift - Roses “The new groundcover roses for small gardens & containers”A breakthrough in rose hybridizing, the Drifts® are compact groundcover roses. Their versatile habit fits equally well into small home gardens, patio containers and hanging baskets as it does when they are planted en masse across large, open beds. The Drifts® have been tested extensively under very diverse climate conditions. They are winter hardy in zone 5 and could easily qualify as spreading miniatures. Drifts® show the same disease resistance as their larger, betterknown cousins, the Meidiland® and Carefree™ shrub roses. Drifts® are equally well suited for large commercial plantings.

Flowering Shrubs can be grown in a shrub border or in a mixed border, mixed with other different plants such as annuals and perennials. Most Flowering Shrubs are easy to grow and don’t need a whole lot of maintenance.
