Shrub Rose 'Double Knock Out'

A nice rose bush that does very well. Unlike other folks here, I have NOT found it Japanese Beetle proof. However a little spray pesticid...Read Moree does very well on it. I cut it back this year (it was getting too tall) and it has done exceptionally well so far this Spring. Covered currently w/blooms and buds. Only other downfall to this rose is it has the typical hybrid plant "non-fragrant".

A very nice rose. Immune to disease in my rosebed. Very cold hardy with almost no winter dieback. Color is a bright cherry red. Unlike mo...Read Morest of my roses, it's not bothered by Japanese Beetles. I used two of these to replace hybrid teas which did poorly every year despite high maintainance. Glad I did.

I live in zone 5, 10 miles off downtown Chicago,; it's very windy in our place. I tried several roses, paid a lot on them but I was ver...Read Morey frustrated because they either die or just won't give me the flowers I want. I tried this particular rose, the RED DOUBLE KNOCKOUT and the PINK DOUBLE KNOCKOUT. I am more than pleased to have them! These roses are perpetual heavy bloomer, very disease resistant and don't need a lot of care! They stand the Chicago wind as well. I uploaded pictures of these beauties so you can judge them for yourself.

Probably one of the easiest plants to grow, with virtually no upkeep. Not as tall as I like, but produces blooms perpetually.

Absolutely wonderful plant. After trying about 50 other different types of roses, and growing discouraged because of the diseases associ...Read Moreated with Southern grown roses, I finally found this one. I planted 21 around a palm tree and found out quickly that I should have spaced them at least 4 ft apart. I also planted 2 together in another bed, about 1 foot apart. Never do this, because they each like their own space. I personally like to keep them pruned to about 2 1/2 ft all around. They seem to be fuller for me that way. They bloom constantly from spring to fall. I was even able to have a vase of roses on my table in November. They actually look like a Hybrid Tea, which I love. I am adding the Pink Double Knockout and the Sunny Knockout to my collection. What a joy to know I will have blooms all the time while experimenting with other plants.

I started with the original Knockouts (one of which is 5 feet wide and 5.5 feet tall, progresses to Double Knockouts, and this year added...Read More two Double Pink Knockouts. The don't get blackspot, they don't need constant watering, and they grow thick and well. Three years ago I also bought one of Wm. Radler's other roses, Ramblin' Red, a hearty climber and constant flowerer that's disease resistant. The only drawback is that none of the above are fragrant, but they look great in a landscape and are nearly care-free.

We have 3 of the double red Knockouts planted in afternoon sun that are flourishing in our new Davidson County, NC landscape, They are i...Read Morerrigated but are given no other attention except for occasional deadheading. We also have 6 of the dark red singles w/ yellow centers that are not doing well. They get morning sun and are also irrigated, but they have black spot , aphids and are being eaten by either deer or rabbits. This is our first full summer here so I will give the singles a chance through this summer w/ extra care and if they don't look better, they will be moved or replaced.

I have 8 of these throughout my very large flower bed. Everyone is flourishing whether in deep or light shade or full sun!! The bloom co...Read Morelor is an electric reddish fuschia and really stands out in the shadier sections of the bed.

A workhorse in the garden with very little care. Best description of color would be magenta.

I adore this rose. Has all the wonderful attributes of the single knockouts, but with double flowers! Non-stop bloomer, disease resist...Read Moreant, vigorous grower. Not fragrant.
