Hi everyone. I think I can address many, if not all, of the questions and much of the concern about finding the newest Knock Out series rose, Pink Double Knock Out. Pink Double Knock Out is, in fact, the newest Knock Out series rose available. The 'Double Knock Out', Pink Double Knock Out's predecessor, is a bright, cherry-red (with all the hardiness and disease- and pest-resistance of the original Knock Out), while Pink Double Knock Out is a bright, true pink color that will not fade (again, with the same hardiness and disease- and pest-resistance as the others). Pink Double Knock Out was released exclusively last fall through Novalis Plants that Work (only available at independent garden centers and through a select few online catalogs) to a select number of garden center retailers across the country. However, Pink Double Knock Out will be available nationwide, exclusively from Novalis Plants that Work, this spring, 2008. For additional info about this plant, where to find it, etc. I recommend visiting the Web site below. I was able to get Pink Double Knock Out in my garden last fall so I can say: it is worth waiting a few short months for... until spring is here. Here is a link that might be useful: Novalis Plants that Work

I'm sure it would have a chance of working, but just be aware that most knockout roses are still under patent, so it is illegal to propagate them. Patents on roses are valid for 20 years; so anything after 1992 is still under patent. If you go to Helpmefind.com and search "knockout" it will tell you the year the rose was patented. :) There�s many other roses besides knockout that are perfectly legal and even more beautiful�take a look on HMF and there may be someone willing to do a cutting exchange with you.

I have the same problem. leaves are yellow with green veins and I have read it can be related to iron deficiency. These are new plants from the nursery. I've had them about a month and they are in the same plastic containers they came in. (I am on a terrace and have to use containers). They are developed by the same company that sells Knock-outs but they are called "Drift" ground cover. After I got them I started to notice white mildew around the base of flower buds (they also had a couple of caterpillars that I got rid of) (I know, great nursery huh?) so I used Bayer All-In-One. Now all the flowers have died off and there is a lot of new growth but it all looks like the photos.

I've had real good luck with semi-hardwood cuttings. I've rooted budleia, wygelia, hardy blue salvia, rose cuttings that I received in trade so I don't know what kind it is other than a small red that I just love! I even started daylily seeds in them last fall and they have grown about 30% larger than the seedlings I started in pro-mix. Now, you must get the oasis completely wet before placing the cuttings into it and keep them very most. I've had good luck keeping mine in the shade while they are rooting. Once they have roots that have grown thru the oasis, I pot them up into quart size pots. You must NOT!!!let the oasis dry out, the cuttings will die if you do. I always put the oasis under the soil and so far I haven't had any trouble with it rotting. All my cuttings that I started this way are put into amended soil so drainage hasn't been a problem. I started using this last fall, so I will be judging the success of this through next summer. If they survive this winter and next spring, I will let you know. If you need anymore hints, justlet me know, I'll be glad to try to answer you. May God bless you and yours with his loving Grace, Mona You can remove the oasis if you want to before potting the cuttings up, just make sure the roots are big enough to stand a little disturbance when you are taking the oasis off. I took some off using a small knife to score the oasis and them simply breaking the oasis in half.
