All About Knockout Roses

Landscape shrubs like Knockout Roses are a great addition to any selection of ornamental trees, grass, and annual flowers. Knockout Roses are incredibly resilient and provide a long blooming season with hardiness to match any climate, especially Texas summers and moist winters.

• Knockout Roses are incredibly resilient and just as beautiful as their fragile cousins in the rose family. The shrubs will survive winter and only need a little extra care during the risk of a freeze.

• These roses are resistant to black-spot and mildew conditions, and also resist pests like Japanese Beetles. In fact, these are the most disease-resistant roses.

• Maintenance is simple when performed as directed by your nursery or garden supply center. This rose blooms all through the season from late spring to late winter.

• Knockout Roses prefer sun, but they are shade tolerant. In especially hot summers, the shrubs will appreciate a nearby ornamental tree for partial shade at certain times of the day, but be sure to give yours plenty of opportunity for full sun.

• The Double Knockout Rose shrub grows deep pink or red blooms. Another kind of Knockout, called the Rosa, offers a pink bloom with delicate petals that are nicely set off by the blue-green of the leaves. There is a huge variety of Knockout Rose colors to choose from, including a cheerful yellow or coral hue.

Knockout Roses are versatile, thriving in landscapes or even as a potted plant. This shrub provides a lot of color for your garden, front yard, or anywhere you choose to plant them.

These roses make great companions to your annual flowers gardens because their blooms will keep color alive late into the season.
