Beautify With the Color of
Knockout Roses

Knockout
roses are shrub roses that have been bred with attributes to make their
maintenance easier, but they certainly wouldn't have become so popular if they
didn't have such vibrant colors. The average person has many options
when picking an aesthetically pleasing flower for their garden, but if disease,
climate or pests are an issue, they may prefer a more resistant breed.
Knockouts are a good choice, but in the beginning were limited with the colors
that were available.
They started
with the Rosa "Radrazz" original knockout rose. Although it's a brilliant rose, if you wanted
the quality of a knockout you were limited to the original's cherry red color.
The red expanded to the pink knockout. Afterwards, they expanded even further
to light pink (blushing), the pink with yellow center (rainbow) and the newest,
which is creamy yellow (sunny).
Different
colors of roses have different connotations when giving
as a gift. Of course, these meanings can be individualized based off pleasant
experiences involving roses. (For example, having distinct memories of a
beloved Grandmother who always kept white roses in her garden may remind you of
her when you see white roses). But there are other more generally agreed-upon
emotions tied to the colors that some of us might prefer to convey when growing
them. All of the knockout roses' colors are good in nature, (in fact the only
unpleasant color I can think of is the supposed black rose which symbolizes
death.)
The original
and double knockouts are red and convey feelings of love. The pink and double
pink reveal a sense of gratitude or happiness. Blushing can be interpreted as
being empathetic towards others or having openness with emotions. The yellow
sunny presents the warm feeling of friendship and the rainbow is a combination
of contentment and caring.
Whatever
emotion you want convey, knockout roses do a good job at getting a pleasant
message across. William Radler, the creator of knockout roses, is constantly
working on breeding new and improved versions and you can bet that there will
be more genius flowers in the future.
No matter
which you choose, you can enjoy the same maintenance free attributes as the
original. Click here for more information about Knockout Roses.
