Home Run® Bare Root Rose Bush
Rosa ‘WEKcisbako’ – Home Run®
Home Run® is a breakthrough in modern rose breeding — a powerhouse of color, performance, and reliability. Developed by Tom Carruth for Weeks Roses, this vibrant scarlet-red shrub rose is a direct descendant of the legendary Knock Out® line, but with even greater disease resistance and an exceptionally long bloom season. Its single, fiery red flowers open in bold waves from spring until frost, glowing against clean, glossy green foliage that stays fresh and spotless all year. Heat-tolerant, self-cleaning, and nearly carefree, Home Run® is the perfect choice for gardeners who want unstoppable color with minimal effort.
