The Knock Out® Family of Roses 'The Red Double Knock Out® Rose' Live Shrub in 1-Gallon Grower Pot

Growing roses doesn’t need to be an activity reserved for the greenest of green thumbs. An abundance of cherry red awesomeness from early spring to first frost awaits you with this double-rose bloomer. It has the toughness and disease resistance for which the family is known, with superior drought tolerance once established. The full double flowers look just like a classic rose. Even better, you don’t have to waste time deadheading old flowers from this blooming machine, as it is self-cleaning. The foliage is a deep purplish green. An excellent staple for landscaping, whether formal, cottage, or other style garden. The tight, compact form allows for its use in any area of your garden, such as a hedge, accent, or specimen planting. Plant individually, in a mass planting, or mixed with other perennials, shrubs, or roses. Layer behind low-growing color plants. Plant at least 3’ feet apart. For best performance, cut back every year in spring after the last hard frost of the season. Grows to 3’ to 4’ high and wide. Plant in fertile, well-drained soil. Provide full sun. Water regularly until established. Flowers spring to fall. Hardy to Zone 5/-15 degrees F.
