Knock Out Roses

Knock Out Roses

Being a gardener who prefers my plant material to be of the tougher nature, 4 years ago I selected a Knock Out Rose to feature in a high profile area on my patio. I’m thrilled at its performance. It has survived quite nicely through every winter including the dreadful winter of 2008/2009! I must confess to paying it little attention. I prune it in early spring, feed it twice a year only with a handful of slow release rose food and mulch it with Sea Soil in spring and again in the fall. If you are thinking of adding roses to your floral inventory, I strongly recommend choosing a Knock Out Rose.

We currently stock 3 varieties:
Double Knock Out – pinkish/red
Rainbow Knock Out – single pink
Sunny Knock Out – yellow buds that open to soft white

The Knock Out Family of Roses are easy to grow and do not require special care. They are the most
disease resistant rose on the market. They have stunning flower power with a generous bloom cycle (about every 5-6 weeks) that will continue until the first hard frost. All of the Knock Out Roses are self cleaning so there is no need to deadhead.

The Knock Out Family of Roses are winter hardy to zone 5. If unpruned, they can easily grow to be more than 3-4’ wide x 3-4’ tall. An early spring (Feb/Mar) cut to 12 inches above the ground is recommended for maximum performance.
