For Immediate Release
The Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts includes 12 Star® Roses and Plants rose varieties in the 2025 design. This marks the 60th anniversary of the home and garden design event. Designer Chia-Ming Ro (Coastal Homestead) led the design and installation of rose shrubs and trees from the Knock Out®, Drift® and Bloomables® brands.
1. Coral Knock Out®
The unique coral color of this rose is even stronger in hot, humid climates. It blooms from spring through fall and maintains an upright to rounded habit. Young foliage is bronze-red.
2. Double Knock Out®
From the same cross that produced the original Knock Out®, Double Knock Out® represents the next generation in The Knock Out® Family of Roses. The full, double flowers look just like a classic rose. It is as resistant to black spot as the famous original, has the same bloom cycle, and is slightly more winter hardy.
3. Pink Double Knock Out®
A bright, bubble gum pink version of Double Knock Out® that is very stable and unfazed by the heat. Classically shaped flowers bloom from early spring to the first frost. This plant has superior drought tolerance once established.
4. Peach Drift®
One of the most floriferous dwarf shrubs available, Peach Drift® pairs well with existing perennials in any landscape and exhibits strong disease resistance. Soft peach blooms cover the plant from mid-spring to the first hard freeze of late fall.
5. Popcorn Drift®
This variety has soft, buttery yellow blooms that fade to a creamy white. Popcorn Drift®
Is a continuous bloomer that flowers all season and pairs effortlessly with other plants.
