Knock-Out Rose:

Rose breeder, Bill Radler, has revolutionized the way we think of roses. It is the most bought rose in this country. The Knock-Out Rose are easy to grow and do not require special care. They are the most disease resistant rose available. Their blooming cycle (about 5-6 weeks) will continue from early spring to the first hard frost. All of the Knock-Outs are self cleaning so there is no need to deadhead. They are winter hardy to Zone 5 and heat tolerant. They easily grow to be more then 3-4 feet wide and 3-4 feet tall. A once a year pruning to about 12 inches above the ground in early spring, after the last hard frost is also recommended for maximum performance.

The Knock-Out Roses can fit into any landscape. Among shrubs, annuals and perennials in mixed beds and borders. They can be used in large groups to create a colorful hedge or as a foundation plant.
