Koko Loko was planted this past January in a container. Immediately took off. Many buds and the first rose opened
March 11. The pic does not do it justice, actual color is hot milk chocolate. Hope this rose survives Houston's hot and humid weather.

Koko Loko is one of the those roses you just can’t get enough of. The blooms are beautiful and so unique, It’s always the one rose everyone flocks to in the garden because it’s so extraordinary! It surprisingly does very well in our high heat and humidity. During the summer it gets a bit of black spot but as an organic gardener it’s to be expected. Come Fall, spring and winter it’s at it’s peak.

Koko Loko rose gives a constantly evolving range of amazing color inside and out! She definitely stands out from the crowd in a sophisticated, elegant, unique way. From bud to falling petals, bearing witness to her color evolution is a rewarding experience. Photos are from her second year at our home. She is in an east facing bed. I supplement with Heirloom Roses bone meal, banana peels and potassium water made with banana peels. We mix peat moss and a rich compost in with our sandy loamy soil when planting. Sprinklers water in early morning before sunrise.

Had quite a few blooms the first year but boy am I excited for next year. The color is amazing!
