One drawback to Knock Outs is they seem to have had to sacrifice fragrance. (Breeders might be working on that problem?...) We have Pink and Blushing Knock Outs which are very pretty singles but there's a new one out that I covet called 'Rainbow'. It won AARS this year to boot.

I am going to try a couple. If you have no fungal problems then I know that I won't. Which one is your favorite color? The new garden looks fabulous!
