This is labeled as (and looks to be) Carefree Celebration, but is posted under Coral Knockout.

The photos are correctly labeled as 'Carefree Celebration', which is synonymous with 'Coral Knockout'.

In my Michigan 6a zone, I attempted to overwinter 5 roses in pots, Golden Celebration, Eustacia Vye,
Scentuous, Bolero and this one, Ruth Clements. The ONLY one to survive (even THRIVE) in my unheated 6a garage during many thaw/freeze cycles this unpredictable winter, was Ruth Clements. I consider that high praise.

She then got neglected this spring, and got devoured by sawflies, until I finally remembered to spray her. I also forgot to fertilize her at all. Despite that, she is a healthy size, and has about 4 big buds, and is just about ready to bloom. If I had fertilized her earlier, she'd probably be even bigger and have more flowers. She deserves a permanent spot in my garden.

Blooms were lovely pink with an apricot center, reminiscent of an english rose. Her scent was also very good, and bush health has been fantastic.

Very rain tolerant, though her blooms are very full/many-petaled.
