This is my one and only knockout. It grows in partial shade, as you can see. It is just blooming now for the first time this year, after all of my other roses are done and resting for their next bloom. For that reason alone, I like it. It has been in the ground about 2 years. Not very big, but I assume that is because of the lack of direct sun. It is completely healthy - the marks you may see on the leaves are me, spraying anti-deer stuff on it (I hate spraying that stuff - no matter what I do, the wind blows it on to me, and I have that rotten egg smell all over, and have to take a bath and throw my clothes in the wash - but it does work). I can't blame the deer on the rose.

Also, it is putting out new canes from the bottom, after I was afraid it would not. So far, not amazing, but as advertised.
