It actually isn't. I added it only to the main Knock Out rose because I got tired of people telling me Knockout wasn't in the database, so a search for knockout will only bring up one rose and a multitude of daylilies.

"Also referenced as" is not enough to make it an official name, Toni, but I added it anyway to cut down on the nuisance factor. I wouldn't usually add misspellings as official alternative names.

No one's editing the members' spelling, Clint, and the only reason I picked on the misspelling in the article is that I knew it would complicate a search for the series. Sue tried to avoid that by adding links to all of the Knock Out roses in her comment on the article.

I personally appreciate the landscaping features of the Knock Out series, but I also have to admit there's no rose I hate. Even Baronne Prevost, which irritates me no end with its susceptibility to black spot, mildew, rust, and every type of pest damage, produces gorgeous blooms that compensate for all of those irritating features.
