    We were at the local Home Depot on Fri. looking for a new dehumidifier for the basement. Found one and my wife wanted to look at plants. So I sat on some of the outdoor furniture and rested. She came back with 3 Knockout Roses. They had them on sale. Between the sale price and my Veterans discount we ended up paying about $13 each for them. They are big ones too, about 2 ft tall.

    I do love to hear of great deals like that CK. Once they're planted up I'd love to see a photograph of them. Do you know what colours the roses are going to be?

    I forgot to post that they were all double blooms too! They are all supposed to be red, but the one sure looks pink to me. They are all currently blooming and have a lot of buds that haven't opened yet.

    You will love the Knock Out roses, they are pretty much carefree and bloom all season long.
    And yes we do need to see photos.

    Here is a pic. We aren't going to put them in the ground until next week as we are supposed to have frost Monday morning.

    Beautiful Capt. Glad you got such a bargain and that you are waiting until after the frost to plant them.
