The Inventor of KNOCK OUT® Roses
Posted by admin in KnockOut Rose, KnockOut Roses, Videos
Here is a short segment of Bill Radler, the inventor of KNOCK OUT® roses. Through
extensive breeding he’s spent many years trying to find the most convenient and
easy to grow rose.
Its also amazing to know that the existence of the KNOCK OUT® rose was nothing
short of a miracle. The first knockout
rose was an only seed, AND the mother of it was too! In normal instances rose hips yield
around 40 seeds, so its easy to imagine how close it was to not seeing the light of day.
On top of that, since it was a late bloomer the original knockout rose was in danger
of getting thrown out. Just by sheer luck, its wasn’t though.
