Double Knockout Roses

Knock Out® Roses – Effortless Beauty, Season After Season
A garden favorite with all the romance of traditional roses and none of the fuss, Knock Out® Roses bring reliable color and timeless charm to Southern landscapes. Introduced in the early 2000s and quickly beloved by gardeners everywhere, these roses are known for their hardiness, disease resistance, and nonstop blooms—from spring’s first warm days straight through to frost.

Where They Grow Best
Knock Out® Roses thrive in USDA zones 5–11 and shine brightest in full sun. They're perfect for borders, cottage-style plantings, foundation beds, or even in large pots on the porch. With minimal care and a generous blooming habit, they fit beautifully into both formal and free-spirited garden designs.

Growth Pattern
These roses grow in a tidy, mounded shape—typically 3–4 feet tall and wide—making them ideal for mass plantings or as a showy, stand-alone feature. Their growth is lush and bushy, filled with rich green foliage and an abundance of vibrant blooms that keep on coming.

Care Instructions

• Light: Full sun (at least 6 hours a day for best blooms)

• Water: Water deeply once or twice a week; more often in extreme heat

• Soil: Prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil

• Feeding: Feed in early spring and midsummer with a balanced rose fertilizer

• Pruning: Prune back in early spring to maintain shape and encourage vigorous new growth

• Pest/Disease Resistance: Naturally resistant to black spot, mildew, and other common rose issues—one of the easiest roses to grow

With their vibrant blooms, low-maintenance nature, and old-soul charm, Knock Out® Roses are the kind of plant that brings joy day after day. They brighten walkways, greet guests at the front porch, and bloom as if they’ve got something to celebrate—just like a Southern summer in full swing.
