I received 2 Scarlet Knight rose bushes as a housewarming gift but did not receive planting information ie: direct sun, indirect sun. I would appreciate any help as I am new to roses and want them to thrive.

I was wondering if anyone knew the history of 'Scarlet Knight', in terms of how it got its name. I work at Rutgers University, in New Jersey, and we are known as the Scarlet Knights also.

I have to add my accolades for this rose; an absolutely exquisite shape and colour, and trouble free in my rather troublesome garden.

"Scarlet Knight is a wonderful rose, and is my wife's favourite of all the roses I have. Its petals are tough, and seem to be carved out of red velvet. Because the petals are like leather, the blooms last and last, with no fading. But this is not its only virtue. It is completely resistant to disease, its flower is large, as large as the largest of the red Hybrid Teas, for example Chrysler Imperial or Mr. Lincoln. And yet it blooms freely as a Floribunda. It is tall, upright, and not too thorny." Dr. Casmir Mekdeci in a letter to Percy Wright, July 10,1976,
