Well the horses have been moved to the greener pastures of relatives as my elderly neighbor is in his 90s and horse care becomes hard and a bit dangerous for the frail. This means a good deal to the knockouts that have begun to bloom now.

So knock out brand roses are good,
Often the only choice locally here. I have one thats going on 15 years old but the others over the years dont go much more than 5 years.
Planted a Yellow KO last fall and its just leafing out now. My 15 year old plant is no show winner but looking good so far

Im pretty sure this dwarf rose is a KO
Every time I think its dead ( several times over the past 5 years) its close to 10 yrs) it pokes it head out again. 2 years ago it had a major bloom and nothing last year.

Wife brought home a yellow rose bush , deer found it and at it to nothing. Its just starting to recover now.
