Knock Out Roses

My knock out roses are blooming prolifically this spring...it must be the right combo of rain and nasty smelling organic fertilizer. :)

Gorgeous; certainly knock-out. Love the bokeh you've captured, too, Peggy. How beautiful your garden must look!

[Terry]

I say the latter is the big reason

[Jen Dee]

Gorgeous photo! I love the effect of the smelly fertilizers. We use mushroom soil every few years to give the plants some extra nutrients, and boy does that smell.

[Lesley Haskell]

This is really lovely Peggy. The colour of those roses is beautiful.

[Barb Smith]

Gorgeous shot, Peggy. Great bokeh. Check out all those buds! You have mega photo ops ahead.

[Barbara Paquette]

Wow! I am so excited for spring coming my way...it'll be 2 months before roses here in NY...thanks for sharing!

[Stephanie Sharif]

I have never had luck with roses. Yours are stunning!

[Isis Weiss]

Beautiful! I need some of that organic fertilizer...my roses are looking so sad...nothing is blooming yet...maybe we haven't had enough warm weather here.

[Sirkka Saboe]

Nice bokeh on this shot!

[Katrina Cristy]

Beautiful lighting and bokeh! I smell only pretty flowers when I see this, no fertilizer :)

[Sarah Grimley]

[Peggy Sirk]

@stephsharif Thanks, Stephanie. I never had much long term luck with roses either...until I stumbled upon "Knock Out" roses. These are pretty much 'Roses for Dummies' ~ the more you ignore them, the better they do. :)

[Peggy Sirk]

@jendee3 :) I feel sorry for my neighbors when I haul out the organics...but the plants certainly seem to love the stuff!

[Christine Hamrick]

Lovely bokeh!

[Amber Peacock]

WOW! Peggy this is beautiful! The bokeh, the buds, and the lighting is all so amazing!
