A red bloom on a pink knockout bush?
Comments (12)I believe it is illegal to propagate or clone the Knock Out roses because they are registered. It says, âÂÂAsexual propagation without proper authorization is prohibited.â I have done propagation on antique roses. You just need to be careful about registration/copywrite/patent etc. Here is an article excerpt: According to the statement from Conard-Pyle, the nursery was in violation of United States Plant Patent Laws that state that no one may asexually propagate or sell any patented plant without the permission of the patent owner. âÂÂIllegal propagation is a matter that we take very seriously,â said Jacques Ferare, vice president of license for The Conard-Pyle Co. âÂÂAs the introducer of the Knock Out roses, we are committed to ensuring that Knock Out plants are grown only by legitimate growers. This not only protects these legitimate nurseries, it also guarantees that the consumer is getting the real thing and not a knockoff.â ItâÂÂs to ensure the rights of Knock Out brand of roses are being protected, Conard-Pyle is taking legal steps to enforce its trademark and plant patent rights throughout the horticultural industry. Most recently Conard-Pyle has joined forces with other major nurseries in hiring Plant Watch, a well-known monitoring program to help enforce its intellectual property rights....See More'Wild Onions' taking over my yard

Comments (16)Tell your hubby to keep up the good fight. No, this is not how evolution works. At least not the "evolution" that Darwin spoke/wrote of. His theory is of "natural evolution". There is absolutely nothing natural about how these alien invasives got here and how they've been allowed to take over our precious native plants. If the introduced plants lived in a state of harmony and a sort of homeostasis with our native plants and they very slowly over thousands or millions of years evolved into something superior then that might be a bit closer to what Darwin was seeing and theorizing about. We 'are' seeing a sort of "survival of the fittest" but it's an unfair battle and our natives are losing the fight. Keep on taking out those alien invasives and if you can, promote the growth of new, native species. But even if you can't the natives will slowly come back. I've been working at this for 3 years now since we moved to this property and it's finally paying off. I'm down to removing new baby plants and each year I've planted seedlings and saplings of native plants, shrubs and trees and this fall I spread thousands of seeds most of which will likely be wildlife food but even if a tiny fraction of those germinate and grow, it will help crowd out the alien invasives that try to set root in my soil. Keep up the good work! :o) Barb southern Ontario, CANADA...See More- 8 years agolast modified: 8 years ago
