'Knock Out Red' Rose

‘Knock Out Red’ Rose (Rosa ‘Knock Out Red’). The ‘Knock Out Red’ Rose is a vigorous, floriferous shrub with a bushy, rounded habit, known for its exceptional bloom and remarkable disease resistance. It produces an abundance of intense cherry-red single flowers that continuously renew from early summer until the first frosts. Its glossy dark green foliage remains healthy all season, even in difficult conditions, making it a very reliable choice for low-maintenance gardens. Ideal for beds, borders, or group plantings, it effectively structures full-sun landscapes.

To plant the ‘Knock Out Red’ Rose, choose a suitable exposure: full sun. The recommended soil is: rich, well-drained. Water at the base and allow air to circulate between the branches. Remove dead parts with a clean tool, then prune according to the rose's group. Winter protection depends on its hardiness and the potential presence of a graft union. Water the root ball before planting and ensure water can drain after planting. During establishment, check the moisture by hand before watering again.
