Home Run Rose - Shrub Rose
(Color: Showy Flame Red)


This flame-red offspring of the famous Knock Out kicks the competition up a notch when it comes to disease resistance.  Home Run has a phenomenal fortitude against the dreaded black spot (like its father).  But, unlike Dad, it is also completely resistant to powdery mildew and has a much higher level of tolerance to downy as well.  Rounded, bushy, fast-to-flower and nearly always in color, it hits a grand slam in the landscape and scores lots of points in a pot, too.

Height/Habit:  Medium/Rounded and bushy
Bloom/Size:    Medium, single
Petal Count:    5
Fragrance:      Slight
Hybridizer:      Carruth-2006
Parentage:      (City of San Francisco x Baby Love) x Knock Out
Comments:     Coast to coast ... it's the cleanest.  Deepest red in cool temps.
