As with the previous post on marigolds, you'll find these beautiful Double Knock Out Roses in the garden. These newer shrub rose type plants bloom almost all season and add amazingly vivid and bright color to the garden. Here are a few notes from the Knock Out Rose website:
Knock Out® Roses are easy to grow and do not require special care. They are the most disease resistant roses on the market today! They have stunning flower power with a generous bloom cycle (about every 5-6 weeks) that will continue until the first hard frost. All seven members in The Knock Out® Family of Roses are self-cleaning so there is no need to deadhead.
The Knock Out® Family of Roses are winter hardy to USDA Zone 5 and heat tolerant throughout the entire U.S. They thrive in almost every area of the country. In the coldest regions, they will need winter protection (check with your local garden center to see what method is best for your area).
If unpruned, The Knock Out® Family of Roses can easily grow to be more than 3-4' wide x 3-4' tall. A once a year cut (to about 12-18" above the ground) in early spring (after the last hard frost) is also recommended for maximum performance.
The Knock Out® Family of Roses can fit any landscape. Plant them individually among shrubs, annuals and perennials in mixed beds and borders. Plant them in large groups to create a colorful hedge. Plant them along a foundation to provide a bright border.
