Knockout Roses Three Years Running. . .

Two years ago - the first year of the knockout roses.
Last year's knockout roses:
And this is the display we are getting this spring!

Update 2013:  They still grow big and beautiful; however, #2 from the left has died.  Don't know why but it's possible that it accidently got hit with Round-Up.  Mike still prunes them regularly.  They are prettiest in spring and fall.  They seem to be impervious to most diseases; planting is easy; they do not like shade but are happiest in full sun.  They are prettiest in spring and fall.  And I think that we have the prettiest of the colors!!

We just planted Sunny knock out roses this spring. Can't wait till 3 years from now! Your roses are beautiful. We were told they were low maintenance, but do you have any words of wisdom on maintenance for them?

Katherine - I don't think Mike does anything but prune them! They are extremely low-maintenance!
