CONRAD-PYLE COMPANY IS THE PATENT HOLDER FOR KNOCK OUTS AND THERE ADS CLAIM IT IS"NO MAINTAINENCE" AND RESISTANT TO THE MOST COMMON DISEASES OF ROSES. THIS IS A FALSE AND DECEPTIVE CLAIM AND IN MY OPINION A VIOLATION OF THE LANHAM ACT AND THE VARIOUS STATE ACTION UNFAIR AND DECEPTIVE TRADE ACT. I HAVE MY FIRST 14 BUSHES HERE ON HILTON HEAD ISLAND, SC WHERE THERE IS A CONSTANT SEA BREEZE. IN SPITE OF CARE ALL DEVELOPED POWDERY MILDEW WITH TWO WEEKS AS WELL AS BLACKSPOT. I ANTICIPATE FILING A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AND INVITE ANY WHO HAVE HAD SIMILAR EXPERIENCE CONTACT ME AT DOCRBOLT@YAHOO.COM

This rose arrived in a fair condition. I thought it was the shipping. I planted the rose immediately as I did with other roses (including the same variety) from different nurseries hoping it would revive. It never happened. As a matter of fact, it is declining. I am expecting it to die entirely any day now. Regardless of how hard I tried to nourished it back to health. It is not like I cannot take care of roses. I have multitude of roses. I always order online from nurseries that give one year guarantee. Since this one does not ship replacements or give you the money back if their plants do not perform, I simply threw my money away. Go somewhere else to buy your roses (sometimes cheaper). They guarantee success or they replace the good.
They promised the rose will bloom this year. Unfortunately, it fights for its survival. BIG NO NO.

Got four plants close to a year ago - they've doubled in size and look great. Very low maintenance. Watered the first few months, then Rose Tone fall and spring.

My Knockout roses arrived yesterday well boxed and in great shape! They are healthy and not overly rootbound. Very impressed with the care that was taken on packaging them! Good job Hirts!
