Knock Out® Shrub Rose

Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system. Feed regularly during the growing season with a general purpose fertilizer. Prune annually in late winter to promote vigorous new growth. Pruning time: late winter or early spring.

Ideal to integrate into shrub or mixed borders for solid, long-season color without additional care. Makes a fine addition to south and west facing foundation beds. Use in the back of perennial borders to intensify season long color. Plant in masses or quantities in irregular groups for a large scale cover that blocks weeds. Great in pairs to flank an entry, steps or gate. Plant in mass to create a low, semiformal hedge or to clean up unattractive paving edges around porches and patios.

Create a colorful cottage garden with Hollyhock, Peonies, Hydrangea, Lilac, Coneflower, Catmint and Lavender. Add color to a formal design of Boxwood hedges and Carolina Laurel topiary forms.

Roses are among the most ancient ornamentals in cultivation. Their redolent perfume of the species brought them into the palaces of Egypt and Rome where they reached legendary proportions in western civilization.
