Top Landscape Plant Choice in North Texas:

As I work on my landscape designs and drive around Keller, Southlake, Grapevine, Ft. Worth and all great North Texas cities, I am pleasantly noticing the use of one of the greatest plants that can be installed in the landscape garden:  the knockout rose.  This is such a fantastic choice for the professional and amateur landscape gardens.  They are also an incredible accent to any outdoor living space.

Knockout roses are very easy to grow and are extremely low in maintenance.  It's almost one of those plants that you install and leave alone.  It is very cold temperature hardy and extremely disease resistant which is nice because some of the other rose species will require constant chemical spraying.  They can be used as a stand alone specimen, in a cluster planting situation or a shrub row.  The blooms will be constantly blooming through a majority of the growing season which definately provides the wow factor in the garden.  Most people are unaware of the fact that they also come in many other colors such as red, apricot, pink and yellow. 

I try to use knockout roses as much as possible when doing my landscape designs.  Please visit us at http://www.absoluteoutdoorspaces.com/ and inquire about a consultation to go over your landscape plans so we can install some beautiful knockout roses in your garden.  If you need further information about knockout roses, please visit the website for the American Rose Society at http://www.ars.org/. 

Happy Gardening!
