This easy-care rose isn’t just beautiful, it’s practically effortless to maintain. This rose thrives in full sun and resists disease, so you can spend less time worrying and more time enjoying its blooms. Even if you’re new to gardening, the Double Knock Out Rose® Pink is all you need to add a touch of carefree elegance to your outdoor space.
Dazzling clusters of bubblegum pink unfurl on the Knock Out Rose throughout the season, a welcome sight that transforms your garden into a cheery escape. Each bloom boasts a velvety texture, the soft petals cool to the touch and begging for a gentle caress. As spring unfolds, the blooms emerge in a tightly packed bud, the color a vibrant, concentrated pink. As the days lengthen and the sun warms, the blossoms unfurl, revealing a lighter, airier shade with a touch of lavender peeking through the center.
This delightful display continues through the summer, with flushes of new blooms replacing the spent flowers. As fall approaches, the color deepens once more, taking on a richer, more sophisticated air. The velvety texture remains, though the cooler temperatures may bring a hint of crispness to the petals. Even as the season winds down, the Double Knock Out Rose® Pink continues to grace your garden with its beauty, the blooms fading to a soft blush before winter takes hold.
The Double Knock Out Rose® Pink isn’t just about the stunning blooms; it boasts a lush backdrop of healthy foliage that adds visual interest throughout the seasons. As spring emerges, the new leaves unfurl in a vibrant, almost chartreuse green, their texture a delightful blend of softness and waxy strength. As the summer sun climbs higher, the foliage matures to a deeper, richer green, offering a perfect contrast to the vibrant pink blooms.
The texture remains smooth, but the leaves take on a leathery resilience, creating a beautiful rustling sound in the summer breeze. Throughout the warm months, the foliage maintains its deep green hue, a steadfast presence amidst the ever-changing floral display.
As fall approaches, a subtle transformation takes place. Hints of burgundy begin to emerge along the edges of the leaves, slowly spreading inwards. The once uniform green gives way to a breathtaking tapestry of burgundy and deep emerald, creating a fiery contrast that rivals the blooms themselves. Even as winter approaches, the Double Knock Out Rose® Pink puts on a final show, the foliage turning a deep, rich burgundy before finally giving way to the dormant season.
Knock Out Roses thrive in full sun, meaning at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. This sunlight is essential for abundant blooms and healthy growth. While adaptable to most soil types, Double Knock Out Rose® Pink prefers well-draining soil. If your native soil is heavy clay, amending it with compost or other organic matter before planting will improve drainage.
Double Knock Out Rose® Pink bushes mature to a height and width of 3-4 feet. This makes them ideal for planting in garden beds, borders, or even containers. When planting multiples in a row, space them 4 feet apart to allow for proper air circulation and room for growth.
Dig a hole that’s twice the width of the root ball of your Double Knock Out Rose® Pink and just as deep. Loosening the soil at the bottom of the hole encourages healthy root development.
Gently remove your Double Knock Out Rose® Pink from its container and loosen any circling roots. Position the plant in the hole so the crown (where the roots meet the stem) sits at ground level. Backfill the hole with soil, tamping it down gently to eliminate air pockets and secure the plant.
Give your newly planted Double Knock Out Rose® Pink a deep watering to settle the soil around the roots. Aim to soak the soil thoroughly, allowing any excess water to drain away.
Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch, like shredded bark or wood chips, around the base of the plant to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds. Keep mulch a few inches away from the stem to prevent rot. Water deeply at the base of the plant, allowing the water to reach the roots. Once established, water during dry spells, but avoid overwatering. The soil should feel moist but not soggy.
The Double Knock Out Rose® Pink isn’t just another flower - it’s an experience. It’s the joy of watching butterflies flit between blooms, the satisfaction of nurturing something beautiful, and the pride of creating a vibrant haven for yourself and your loved ones.
Forget the fleeting beauty of store-bought bouquets - with the Double Knock Out Rose® Pink you can cultivate lasting happiness and transform your outdoor space into a personal sanctuary. Order yours today and witness the magic unfold in your own backyard.
Knock Out Roses thrive in full sun, so at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily is ideal. This encourages abundant blooms and healthy growth.
Water your rose deeply at the base, allowing the water to reach the roots. Once established, water during dry spells, but avoid overwatering. Aim for the soil to feel moist but not soggy.
Knock Out Roses are adaptable to most soil types, but well-draining soil is key. If your soil is heavy clay, consider adding compost or other organic matter to improve drainage.
A single application of a slow-release rose fertilizer in early spring is sufficient. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can promote unwanted foliage growth at the expense of blooms.
Prune your Double Knock Out Rose® Pink in late winter or early spring, before new growth appears. Cut back about one-third of the overall height to encourage bushier growth and abundant blooms.
In colder climates, apply a layer of mulch around the base of the rose plant in late fall to protect the roots from harsh winter temperatures. Remove the mulch in spring as new growth emerges.
Water your newly delivered Knock Out Rose thoroughly as soon as possible. Soak the root ball until water runs freely from the drainage holes.
Newly planted roses require more consistent watering to establish a strong root system. Water deeply at the base of the plant 2-3 times per week, especially during hot and dry periods. Aim for the soil to be moist but not soggy.
Once established, Knock Out Roses are quite drought tolerant. Water deeply at the base of the plant when the top 2-3 inches of soil feel dry to the touch. Weekly watering during dry spells is usually sufficient, but adjust frequency based on your climate and rainfall.
Water early in the morning to allow the soil to dry throughout the day and prevent fungal issues. Avoid shallow watering, which encourages root growth near the surface. Deep watering promotes strong root development that helps the plant access moisture during dry periods.
New Knock Out Rose bushes don’t need fertilizer when they first arrive. They have enough nutrients in their potting mix to get established.
You can hold off on fertilizing during the first year altogether. The focus for young roses is on root development, and excess fertilizer can hinder this process.
In the spring of the second year, apply a single dose of a slow-release rose fertilizer according to the package instructions. This will provide a steady supply of nutrients throughout the blooming season.
Avoid over-fertilizing, as it can promote excessive foliage growth at the expense of blooms. Look for signs of nutrient deficiency, such as pale leaves or stunted growth, before fertilizing again. Watering deeply before fertilizing helps distribute the nutrients evenly.
Sharp hand pruners or loppers will do the trick. Choose tools that are comfortable to hold and ensure they are clean and sharp to avoid damaging the rose stems.
Prune your Knock Out Rose in late winter or early spring, before new growth appears. Cut back about one-third of the overall height of each main stem. Make angled cuts just above an outward-facing bud to encourage new growth in the desired direction. Remove any dead, diseased, or damaged canes, as well as any branches that rub against each other.
After pruning, apply a topical wound sealant to freshly cut stems, especially on thicker branches. This helps prevent disease and promotes healing. Water your rose thoroughly to encourage new growth.
For a bushier shape, prune more heavily. You can even cut back by half for a more compact plant. Deadheading, or removing spent blooms throughout the season, encourages continuous flowering. Simply snip off the faded bloom at the base of the stem where it meets a healthy set of leaves.
