A few months ago I bought a small Knockout Rose Bush with a few buds on it, no blooms yet, Big Bore dug me a hole, prepped it with root stimulator, and away we went. The poor thing had transplant shock for a week or so, but we babied it along, fed it banana peels, and it soon snapped out of its funk. I dead-headed the first round of blooms; the second round has been more prolific, so I hope we are on our way to a happy life at Casa de la Flaming Bore. The marigolds have enjoyed making a new friend and are protecting it from any bad-ass enemy bugs. Knockout Rose, you are a knockout!
