Plant Information

Plant Care

Double Knock Out Roses require minimal maintenance compared to traditional roses. Water deeply once per week, ensuring soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Fertilize monthly during growing season with a balanced rose fertilizer. Prune in early spring before new growth begins, removing dead or damaged branches and reducing height by one-third to promote bushier growth.

These roses demonstrate excellent resistance to common rose problems like black spot, powdery mildew, and rust. While deadheading isnt necessary for continuous blooming, removing spent blooms can maintain a tidier appearance. Winter protection may be needed in colder regions.

Planting Instructions

Plant in spring or fall when temperatures are moderate. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and equally deep. Mix organic matter into the native soil at a 50/50 ratio. Position the plant at the same depth it was growing in the container, spreading roots outward. Backfill with soil mixture, water thoroughly, and apply 2-3 inches of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the stem.

Space plants 3-4 feet apart to ensure proper air circulation and room for mature growth. Water deeply immediately after planting and maintain consistent moisture for the first growing season to establish a strong root system.
