You guys are funny!! I love Knockout Roses and I do not care what you call them. I love mine because it is so humid here I have to do battle with black spot on regular roses. I just don't have time for that. I love the Knockout's because they bloom continuously and do not get black spot, they are a very nice landscape addition around here. You do not even have to prune them! Does anyone know of any other Roses that do not get black spot?? LMK!
