Common name

Rosaceae

Sleek and resilient, the 'Knock Out White' rose offers abundant blooms of single, pure white flowers, sometimes slightly tinged with pale pink at the end of flowering. It blooms continuously from spring until frost, without the need for pruning or special care. With its compact 90 to 120 cm growth and its semi-glossy, dark green foliage, highly resistant to disease, it is ideal for borders, simple beds, low hedges or contemporary arrangements. Like all Knock Out roses, it tolerates heat, drought, urban pollution and poor soils. 'Knock Out White' is perfect for creating bright contrasts, minimalist gardens or long-lasting, low-maintenance compositions.
