But the newish <a href="http://www.conard-pyle.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/koplants.splash/index.htm" title="'Sunny Knock Out' ">‘Knock Out’ </a>rose called ‘Sunny’ has me tempted. The Conrad-Pyle web site says ‘Knock Out’ is the most disease resistant rose on the market. I like the way it looks old-school, plus I am a sucker for butter yellows. William Radler’s goal was to breed the maintenance out of roses. He recommends hedge trimmers in the spring, says the shrubs are self cleaning (no deadheading), drought resistant and bloom every 5 weeks. <a href="http://www.conard-pyle.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/home.showpage/pageID/71/index.htm" title="Read his story here.">Read his story here.</a> whatever <a href="http://hfnmag.com/news-trends/news-landing/article/target-to-launch-giada-de-laurentiis-for-target-kitchen-purchases-smith-hawken/" title="Home Furnishing News">Home Furnishing News</a>—Smith & Hawken not dead yet, Target buys the brand. </td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td><a href="http://www.dirtdujour.com/"><img src="http://www.dirtdujour.com/images/coupon_spot.jpg" alt="Visit dirtdujour.com" width="225" height="147" border="0" /></a></td> <td style="padding-left: 15px;"><img src="http://www.dirtdujour.com/images/email_sponsored.jpg" alt="Sponsored" width="219" height="58" /> </td> </tr> </table></td> <td align="center" valign="top" style="width: 120px; padding: 20px 0 0 12px;"><a href="http://www.dirtdujour.com/sign_up/"><img src="http://www.dirtdujour.com/images/email_sign_up.gif" alt="Email Sign Up" border="0" style="margin-bottom: 10px;"/></a> <a href="http://www.urbangardensweb.com/" title="Click to visit Urban Gardens"><img src="http://www.dirtdujour.com/images/uploads/dirt_du_jour_newsletter_ad.jpg" style="border: 0;" alt="image" width="125" height="119" /></a> <a href="http://www.tomatofest.com/" title="Click to visit Tomato Fest"><img src="http://www.dirtdujour.com/images/uploads/tomato120b.jpg" style="border: 0;" alt="image" width="120" height="120" /></a> <a href="http://www.thewovengarden.com/" title="Click to visit The Woven Garden"><img src="http://www.dirtdujour.com/images/uploads/TheWovenGarden-120x120.jpg" style="border: 0;" alt="image" width="120" height="120" /></a> <a href="http://www.mollywoodgardendesign.com/" title="Click to visit Molly Wood Garden Design"><img src="http://www.dirtdujour.com/images/uploads/mollysmall.jpg" style="border: 0;" alt="image" width="120" height="120" /></a> <a href="http://www.patwelsh.com/" title="Click to visit Pat Welsh"><img src="http://www.dirtdujour.com/images/uploads/pat2small.jpg" style="border: 0;" alt="image" width="120" height="120" /></a> <a href="http://www.moplants.com/" title="Click to visit Mo Plants"><img src="http://www.dirtdujour.com/images/uploads/maureen120.jpg" style="border: 0;" alt="image" width="120" height="120" /></a> <a href="http://www.vintagegardengal.com/" title="Click to visit Vintage garden gal"><img src="http://www.dirtdujour.com/images/uploads/VGG120X120_(2)-1.jpg" style="border: 0;" alt="image" width="120" height="120" /></a> </td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" bgcolor="#714300" style="color: #2c170b; padding-bottom: 10px;"><img src="http://www.dirtdujour.com/images/email_compostpile.gif" alt="Compost Pile" width="600" height="56" /> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="padding-left: 20px;"> <tr> <td> <a href="http://www.dirtdujour.com/item/make_good_on_your_invention/" style="color: #be7c4f">Make good on your invention</a>, March 9, 2010. <a href="http://www.dirtdujour.com/item/your_own_home_and_garden_in_pen_and_ink/" style="color: #be7c4f">Your own home and garden in pen and ink</a>, March 7, 2010. <a href="http://www.dirtdujour.com/item/finally_figured_something_out/" style="color: #be7c4f">Finally figured something out….</a>, March 5, 2010. </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" bgcolor="#2c170b" style="color: #8e5503; padding-bottom: 10px;"><img src="http://www.dirtdujour.com/images/email_dirt.gif" alt="" /> <a href="http://www.dirtdujour.com/sign_up/" style="color: #8e5503">Subscribe</a> | <a href="http://www.dirtdujour.com/sign_up/#unsubscribe" style="color: #8e5503">Unsubscribe</a> | <a href="http://www.dirtdujour.com/about/#policies" style="color: #8e5503">Editorial and Privacy Policies</a> | <a href="http://www.dirtdujour.com/contact/" style="color: #8e5503">Contact</a> 17602 17th Street, Suite 102 #142 Tustin, Ca. 92780-7915 All contents © 2010 Dirt Du Jour</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>
