The Knockout Rose is by far one of the easiest types of rose bushes to plant and care for. Seen widely in the south, this type of rose excels in the full sun, keeps a compact growth habit and continues to bloom from early spring right up until the first frost. The Knockout Rose is extremely resistant to black spot disease and is generally a low-maintenance type of shrub, but don’t forget that even these hardy roses need the essentials.
To keep your Knockouts happy and healthy through the warm months, water your roses often along with providing a bloom booster fertilizer. Pruning is also essential to the Knockout Rose. It is important to prune not only the outside of the bush, but also some on the inside to help circulation and avoid diseases. Pruning can be done to help shape the bush, to encourage new growth and blooms and/or to control the size. Knockouts are vigorous growers and should be trimmed back a foot or two below the height you want them during their growing season.
