OK, Apple didn’t breed the Knockout Roses or Frost Proof Gardenia, but they are amazingly easy to grow. Plant them… neglect them and they bloom like crazy. No chemicals, no frost cloth, no fuss.

And if your looking for a phone, buy the iPhone. I’m a technologically illiterate farmer. I refuse to read directions or manuals. Within minutes I was checking emails, creating maps, getting weather forecasts and making calls.

Don’t you love it when things do what they’re supposed to do.

What will they do next with Knock Out Roses?

This is definitely the smartest rose on the planet.

Not all roses are created equal.

If you have shied away from plating roses in your yard because they require so much coddling, we don’t blame you a bit. Who has time for all that tedious, finicky behavior? Everyone loves roses as a flower but most refuse to be a slave to their plants. Just as with anything else, if you wait a while, a vast improved specimen will come along and change everything.

They named it Knockout for a lot of good reasons.

All roses are beautiful. As performers in your yard the majority tend to fall short of low maintenance. Many rose bushes only flower once a year. Shrub roses are your best bet for low maintenance and reblooming beauty. While there are some great landscape roses available, none of them holds a candle to the Knockout Rose.

Excellent disease resistance makes this one brainy plant.

All shrub or landscape roses are disease resistant, but resistant and excellent resistance is two different things. Knock Out Rose also have exceptionally large flowers for the shrub rose family with showy clusters of blooms opening repeatedly from early summer right through to hard frost. The individual blooms on Pink Double Knock Out Rose measure 3.5”-4” across and lightly fragrant with an expected rosy aroma.

Maintains great shape with only a minimal clipping.

Knockout Roses are naturally a compact and tidy flowering shrub with the blooms forming on new growth at the tips of the stems. Knockouts grow to 3’-4’ high and wide and will flower at maximum proportions in full, hot sun. You can grow your Red Double Knockout Rose in part sun, but bear in mind that you will have less flowers. Roses should always be planted with good drainage to prevent root rot from waterlogged soils.

The rose is a stand alone in the gardening world, historically and today. Arguably the most popular flower in American history, it is rare to find an experienced gardener that has not tried their hand at the cultivation of a rose bush. With fragrance, visual charm, and undeniable romance… the classic rose is just a flower that cannot get any better, right?

Well, that may be a matter of debate. Since their debut in 2000, Knock Out Roses have taken the gardening world by storm. Particularly, the Double Knockout Rose. With up to twenty-five petals per single bloom, the Double Knockout is easily twice the size of your average rose. Apparently, it’s now aimed at becoming twice as popular as well.

Size, however, is not the only thing the Double Knockout rose has going for it. The Double Knockout boasts an extended bloom period that can stretch into all four seasons. More compact than even the original Knockout rose, the Double has a home in even the most modest of planting spaces. Becoming increasingly known for pest and disease resistance, drought tolerance, and being the ultimate in low-maintenance, it’s no wonder gardeners all over the country have fallen head over heels for this amazing cultivar.

Available in classic rose hues, you won’t have to forgo that long cherished elegance with the Knockout roses. Looking for that romantic, cherry red? The Red Double Knockout rose will deliver all the time honored tradition with twice the size and glowing with color. If a softer, more feminine bloom appeals to you, you will find all that and more with the Pink Double Knockout rose.

With all the looks and attributes one could ask for in a rose, it’s certainly not hard to see why the Knockout roses are becoming more popular by the day. And it looks like a sure bet that they will have a place in gardens and landscapes for generations to come.
