During the hot months of summer it's sometimes hard to keep your flowers healthy and watered.

With the hot summer upon us, most people don't look forward to yard work. If you prefer easy upkeep on your landscape then here's the perfect plant for you: genetically altered Knockout roses

Knockout roses have been given a huge upgrade from the basic rose. They are naturally resistant against fungus and disease, which means less chemicals are needed keep them healthy. This, in turn, means our groundwater is more pure.

The Knockout roses are in full bloom just off of Catclaw near the Shops of Abilene.
