PLANT SPOTLIGHT: Knock Out ® Roses

The Knock Out® Family of Roses has stunning flower power with continuous blooms late spring until the first hard frost.

Our collection includes:  Knock-out and Double Knock-out with red blooms; Sunny Knock-out; Pink Knock-out; and Peachy Knock-out.

All Knock Out® Roses are self-cleaning so there is no need to remove spent blooms. They’re winter hardy and heat tolerant. If un-pruned, The Knock Out® Family of Roses can easily grow to be more than three to four feet wide x three to four feet tall.

Periodic trimming will keep them maintained to a smaller size. As taller stems finish blooing, prune them down below the surrounding foliage to keep the plant nice and compact.

For maximum performance, prune these rose bushes once a year in early spring (after the last hard frost) to about 12 to 18 inches above the ground.

The Knock Out® Roses can fit into any landscape. Plant them individually among shrubs, annuals and perennials in mixed beds and borders. Plant them in large groups to create a colorful hedge. Plant them along the foundation of a building to provide a bright border.
