I got those double knockout roses in the ground this week. Definitely an improvement over the lantanas!
The dark green foliage of the roses works much better with the variegated foliage of the shrub behind them, and also balances the darker plants in that same bed. The red flowers ad punch that the purple flowers of the lantana never did. The tangled wildness of the lantanas never made much sense with formal box hedges anyway.
That's the nice thing about roses. They can be formal or casual, it's just a question of how they are dressed up!
