PLANTING & CARE

Care in planting Double Knock Outs will make the difference in a shrub that simply survives or thrives. Your roses will arrive healthy, with a well-developed root system. Follow these planting guidelines to get your shrubs off to a good start in your garden:

Double Knock Out Roses thrive in USDA plant hardiness zones 5 through 9. (If you’re planting your shrubs in containers, this places their roots above ground level where they will not be insulated by the surrounding soil, so they’ll overwinter in their pots to Zone 6.) A full-sun location (at least 6, but preferably 8 hours of sun each day) promotes fuller foliage growth and more flowers. Double Knock Out Roses aren’t too fussy about the type of soil they grow in, but they do need a well-draining site. If the roots sit in soggy soil, they may rot. Before excavating planting holes, have a locate service mark the ground above any underground utility lines so you don’t sever them when you dig.

WATERING

Give your newly planted Double Knock Out Rose bush a deep, thorough soaking. Infrequent, deep watering is better than frequent, shallow sprinklings. Always water at the base of the plant to keep its leaves dry. In the absence of sufficient rainfall (1 inch per week), hand-watering at the base of each plant or drip irrigation, such as soaker hoses, is optimal for Double Knock Out Roses.

FERTILIZING

We recommend using organic fertilizers when your roses are young. Specifically, the Brighter Blooms Organic Planting Mix is an excellent soil amendment, giving your plant healthy nutrients. If you really want to give your rose bushes a head start, include a pack of our Root Rocket bio-stimulant. It is packed with mycorrhizal fungi and beneficial bacteria that would really stimulate the root growth!

PRUNING & SHAPING

Deadheading is a type of pruning that removes spent blossoms so the new growth can produce more flowers. It is a time-intensive task that’s necessary to maintain many types of roses. But Double Knock Out Roses continue to produce new flowers without needing to be deadheaded. You can leave your shrubs unpruned throughout their growing season, and they’ll continue blooming. However, a few snips here and there during the dormant season will help keep them looking neat and maximize their flowering potential.
