Tulsa Gentleman: Ruby Tuesday

Ruby Tuesday - Knockout!

All along the east side of my back garden is a row of shrub rose of variety "Knockout". The wooden fence is 5 feet high and the rose is nearly to the top. Knockout is a fairly new variety, extremely disease resistant, vigorous, and long blooming. I planted these about 5 years ago and they have grown to an impenetrable wall of thorn and bloom. Even Smokey is reluctant to crash through to bark at the neighbor's lawn mower.

For other shades of red from all over check out Ruby Tuesday.

Have a wonderful Ruby Tuesday.; Monday, May 03, 2010

J'ai aussi des clôtures de rosiers de ce style mais qui donnent de magnifiques petites roses blanches et ... beaucoup d'épines !
