			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Satsuma mandarin trees (Citrus unshiu Marc.) are among the most cold hardy citrus varieties that have sufficient fruit quality for potential commercial marketing as well as for homeowners outside the typical citrus belt in the Lower Rio Grande Valley.</p>
<p>The Mandarin orange or mandarin is a small citrus tree (Citrus reticulata) with fruit resembling the orange. The fruit is oblate, rather than spherical, and roughly resembles a pumpkin in shape. Mandarin oranges are usually eaten plain, or in fruit salads. Specifically reddish orange mandarin cultivars can be marketed as tangerines, but this is not a botanical classification. The Mandarin orange tree is relatively drought tolerant.</p>
<p><strong>Varieties and Characteristics</strong></p>
<p>The mandarin has many names, some of which actually refer to crosses between the mandarin and other citrus fruits. Most canned mandarins are of the satsuma variety, of which there are over 200 cultivars. One of the more well-known satsuma cultivars is the &#8220;Owari&#8221;, which ripens during the late fall season in the Northern Hemisphere. The mandarin is easily peeled with the fingers, starting at the thin rind covering the depression at the top of the fruit, and can be easily split into even segments without spilling juice. This makes it convenient to eat, as one doesn&#8217;t require utensils to peel or cut the fruit.</p>
<p><strong>The &#8216;Mr. Mac&#8217; Satsuma</strong></p>
<p>Murphy W. McEachern as County Extension Agent for Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana from 1945 to 1974 was instrumental in re-establishing the parish citrus industry of 1,000 acres following major freezes in 1952, 1957, and 1963. In cooperation with Leander H. Perez and the Plaquemines Parish Commision Council who paid 50% of the cost of every tree planted.</p>
<p>The fruit was marketed on roadside stands and the French Market in New Orleans. The &#8216;Mr Mac&#8217; satsuma was selected as an outstanding old line Owari clone and named to recognize the work Murphy W. McEachern did in maintaining the Plaquemines Parish citrus industry in Louisiana.</p>
<p>&#8220;Mr Mac&#8221; as he was called by other growers and friends, conducted an outstanding Citrus Extension Educational Program for growers, and he also carried parish growers to Florida each year to participate in their annual Fl Citrus Growers Institute.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Long-Blooming, Thornless and Very Profuse, Even in Shade!</strong></p>
<p>This classic old-fashioned climber offers big semi-double blooms of bright pink, peaking in spring and fall. &#8216;Zephirine Drouhin&#8217; 1868, A romantic, fantastically fragrant, old-fashioned Rose, and still one of the most popular Climbing Roses today, especially in Europe. No Modern Rose has been able to exceed it for sheer performance and season-long bloom.Peaking in spring and fall, the loose, semi-double blossoms of vivid cerise-carmine provide outstanding mass effect.</p>
<p>Grows vigorously to 15 to 20 feet and, remarkable for any Rose, performs well in shade; excellent for north-facing walls and areas with little sunlight.Rich, dark green foliage (coppery-purple when young), is very mildew-resistant; canes are thornless, great for planting where traffic is heavy or children are nearby. The perfect choice to train over a trellis or porch, or trim into a formal hedge.</p>
<p>Zones 5-9.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Just as Tough on Blackspot as its Red Cousin!</strong></p>
<p>Mildew-resistant, too!</p>
<p>&#8216;Radcon&#8217;First Knock Out, took the Rose world by storm, and now there&#8217;s ultra-floriferous Pink Knock Out to wow us all over again. Just as disease-resistant as its award-winning red cousin, Pink Knock Out delights with an extra-long season of bloom. These blooms are just 2 inches wide, but arise in such big clusters among the handsome blue-green foliage that you&#8217;ll spot them from across the garden. They begin in spring and continue throughout summer and right into fall, persisting up till hard frost in my garden last season. They even self-clean! Now that&#8217;s a landscape Rose &#8212; colorful for three seasons and easy to care for in all four.Like the original Knock Out, this dark pink has superb resistance to Blackspot, Japanese Beetles, mildew, and many other common Rose scourges. It&#8217;s even drought-tolerant, though of course it blooms best when given adequate water. You won&#8217;t believe the difference that fresh, healthy foliage makes to your Rose display!Another masterpiece from Canadian breeder William Radler, Pink Knock Out is sure to be a runaway success. You just can&#8217;t go wrong with this magnificent shrub Rose!Pink Knock Out reaches 3 1/2 feet tall and 4 feet wide. Space the plants about 3 feet apart for good coverage. Zones 4-9. Bareroot</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Contender for Greatest Landscape Rose!</strong></p>
<p>Fire-engine red blooms and light Tea Rose fragrance pack a punch in the garden &#8211; even in part shade!</p>
<p>Perhaps the best ever landscape Rose for four-season interest, this stunning hybrid is the culmination of breeder William Radler&#8217;s lifework. Not only is it the most blackspot-resistant Rose we&#8217;ve ever grown, but it also stands up to Japanese beetles and other pests, needs only half a day of sunshine, blooms over an exceptionally long period, and offers foliage and fruit interest as well as lovely blossoms. Exceptionally hardy and disease-resistant, Knock Out is also breathtakingly beautiful, with great clusters of 3 1/2-inch blooms of fire-engine red (or lighter cherry-scarlet in hot climes). These flowers begin early in Rose season and continue for many weeks.</p>
<p>The shrub then rests for a bit, and repeats for the remainder of summer and well into fall. It&#8217;s one of the longest bloom cycles in the Rose family, and will fill your garden with bright color and subtle tea scent. And when the blooms finally end, the color continues with burgundy-violet fall foliage and orange-red hips. Crown-hardy to -20F, this 3- by 3-foot shrub sneers at drought, humidity, and pests such as blackspot, Japanese beetles, leafhoppers, and rose midge. It is essentially maintenance-free, although like any new addition to your garden, it appreciates pampering the first season or two.Knock Out was bred from a seedling of R. &#8216;Carefree Beauty&#8217; x a seedling of R. &#8216;Razzle Dazzle.&#8217; It has become so immensely popular since its introduction that new Knock Outs are arising each season. We recommend Pink Knock Out and Double Knock Out. Knock Out never needs deadheading, and is one of the very few Roses that earns the title &#8220;&#8221;maintenance-free.&#8221;" Zones 4-9.&#8221;</p>

<p>It may get its name from the large, nearly black buds that begin its marvelous blooms, but Black Cherry undoubtedly gets its fine reputation from the exquisite deep red flowers and rich, old-fashioned damask scent with which it fills the garden all summer.

Its flowers are fade-proof and exquisitely formed. Make this reblooming delight an integral part of your sunny garden for many years to come. Zones 5-9.</p>

<p>You&#8217;ll want to fill every available sunny spot with its warm color and sweet, raspberry scent.</p>
<p>This gorgeous floribunda is as ethereal and lovely as its name suggests, offering large trusses of creamy white flowers that create a striking contrast against the very glossy, dark green foliage. Its upright and well-branched habit is extremely vigorous, remarkably trouble free, and mildew resistant. You&#8217;ll fall in love with this award-winning rose and be tempted to fill every available sunny spot with its warm color and sweet, subtle, raspberry fragrance.</p>
<p>&#8216;Moondance&#8217; is a tall plant, reaching a height of 5 feet, with 14- to 18-inch stems perfect for filling those indoor arrangements. Its pointed and oval-shaped buds unfurl into high-centered flowers, which open flat 3 ? to 4 inches in diameter, each with about 25 petals. It blooms even more vigorously and offers more fragrance than its famous parent, &#8216;Iceberg.&#8217; Its densely petaled blooms illuminate the garden, coming in flushes throughout the season.You should remove spent blooms to encourage reblooming and give it a spring pruning that removes old canes and dead wood. Cut back any canes that cross. It&#8217;s recommended that you cut back the remaining canes by about one third or a little more in colder areas. Zone 5-10 (4 with winter protection).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The Most Disease-Resistant Knock Out Yet Hardy to Zone 10, Blooming for 3 Seasons, and Double-Flowered </strong></p>
<p> As beautiful and high-performing as the original Double Knock Out is, this pink-flowered addition to the family offers even better disease resistance, greater hardiness, and even larger, more fragrant blooms!</p>
<p>A fine addition to any sunny setting, it takes its place as possibly the most carefree and impressive Modern Shrub Rose yet Pink Double Knock Out begins flowering in late spring, each 3- to 3 1/2-inch bloom boasting about 20 petals, a light sweet scent, and a pointed star shape, thanks to nicely recurved outer petals. Very profuse, the flowers continue all summer and even into fall. They are borne in clusters of up to 5 all along flowering stems on well-branched, compact shrubs. You could not find a longer, more profuse bloom season from any other rose. And as if this weren&#8217;t enough, Pink Double Knock Out?self-cleans &#8212; the spent flowers drop neatly to the ground, so you don&#8217;t have to deadhead them.</p>
<p>But that is only one of Pink Double Knock Out&#8217;s merits. This vigorous little shrub offers unsurpassed resistance to blackspot, COMPLETE tolerance of downy mildew, and abundant, healthy foliage that looks good even in those rare out-of-bloom moments. Plant it right in the middle of the shrub border, use it as a hedge or foundation planting, or even put it in a container &#8212; it is attractive enough to stand alone, yet doesn&#8217;t mind a little crowding. Anything less like the traditional finicky hybrid tea rose is hard to imagine!If you are a Knock Out? fan (and who isn&#8217;t?), be sure to check-out other members of this exciting family: Double and Rainbow. These are easily the best landscape roses, and they have our vote for the most carefree and high-performing rose series ever. And now with Pink Double, they go safely into zone 10!Crown-hardy to -20 degrees F, this 3- to 4-foot high and wide shrub withstands drought, heat,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Chocolate Blooms with a Sweet Fragrance!</strong></p>
<p>This new All-America Rose Selection winner is a completely new color breakthrough!</p>
<p>This Rose is so uniquely colored that we may just have to invent a new name for the color of its lusciously ruffled blooms. A chocolate-brown infused with smoke and hints of purple . . . or perhaps a russet-influenced brick-red . . . There is no way to do justice to these sweetly-fragrant, freely-borne blossoms! Hot Cocoa is the new All-America Rose Selection winner, and one glance will tell you that the Rose world will never be the same again.The flowers are 3 1/2 inches wide, packed with petals and boasting merrily ruffled edges that add depth to their show. They arise from long, pinpoint buds of a deep rust color (glamorous enough all by themselves!) all over this Floribunda shrub.</p>
<p>The flowering begins in late spring and continues until fall, with bright green foliage framing the rich blossoms. Very vigorous and resistant to disease, Hot Cocoa would be a super garden presence even if its blooms werent so spectacular. As it is, though, this is an entirely new color breakthrough that you wont want to miss enjoying in your own border, Rose garden, or perennial bed.Hot Cocoa reaches 5 feet tall and 4 to 5 feet wide, and demonstrates a great cold-hardiness northern gardeners will appreciate (yet also thrives through zone 9 in the south!). The flowers are exquisite in the garden and vase. And if youre ready to start exhibiting your Roses, why not begin with a flourish with this showstopper? Space shrubs 3 feet apart in moist, well-enriched soil receiving full sun. Zones 5-9.Ships in a 6-inch deep pot.</p>

These 3- to 3 1/2-inch flowers (average petal count: 20) are held in clusters of up to 5 all along flowering stems &#8212; it&#8217;s not unusual for a single stem to hold 2 dozen blooms.</p>
<p>And their recurved outer petals give them a distinctive pointed star look. Vigorous, compact, and blooming continuously till frost, this landscape rose even self-cleans. Highly recommended for the foundation, as a low hedge, or in the sunny border.Qty 1 Trade Gallon (3qt). Zones 4 &#8211; 10. Rosa Double Knock Out PP#16,202 &#8211; Knock Out is one of the greatest landscape Roses ever grown, and now it&#8217;s got a double-flowered sister! If anything, Double Knock Out has an even tighter, more compact habit, forming a perfect low hedge 3 feet high and wide. It also has fully and semi-double 2-inch blooms in great numbers, terrific Black Spot resistance, and a nonstop all-summer bloom schedule. Unbeatable for use in the landscape, it often keeps flowering right up till frost.</p>
