Planting & Care Instructions

Where to Plant

Sunlight: For the highest flower count and healthiest foliage, plant your shrub where it receives at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. While this variety is adaptable, meeting these Knockout rose sun requirements is critical for preventing disease and leggy growth. In the hottest parts of the South (Zones 8-11), a little afternoon shade is actually beneficial to prevent the petals from scorching during peak summer heat.
Soil: These roses are not fussy, but they demand excellent drainage. They will struggle in soggy, waterlogged ground. If you have heavy clay or poor sandy soil, amend the planting site with compost to improve texture and moisture retention. A neutral to slightly acidic soil pH is ideal for nutrient absorption.

Watering Requirements

During the first growing season, check your plants regularly to ensure the root system establishes quickly. A good rule of thumb is to provide about one inch of water per week, either through rainfall or manual watering. Once established, the Pink Double Knock Out is notably drought tolerant, but do not let it dry out completely during bloom cycles. Inconsistent watering often leads to stress, which results in smaller flowers and yellowing leaves.

Pruning Tips

Since these roses bloom on new growth, the best time to prune is late winter or early spring, just as the leaf buds begin to swell. You can be aggressive here; cutting the shrub back by about one-third to one-half its size acts like a reset button. This stimulates vigorous new stems that will be loaded with buds. Unlike other varieties, you do not need to deadhead spent blooms during the season, as the petals drop naturally to keep the plant tidy.

Fertilizer Needs

To fuel the massive amount of blooms this plant produces, apply a balanced rose fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. You can feed again after the first major flush of flowers finishes to encourage the next wave. Avoid fertilizing late in the summer (after August in northern zones), as this pushes tender new growth that will be damaged by the first winter freeze.

Pink Double Knock Out® Shrub Rose

You want the romance of a classic rose garden, but you don't have the time to baby high-maintenance plants. The Pink Double Knock Out Rose delivers that vibrant, bubblegum-pink color saturation you crave on a shrub that practically takes care of itself. This is the solution for gardeners who demand maximum visual impact with minimal effort, giving you the look of a florist rose with the grit of a reliable landscape shrub.

Why Gardeners Choose the Double

Unlike the original single varieties, this shrub features fully double blooms that carry a classic rose shape. You get petals upon petals of saturated color that are "self-cleaning," which answers one of the most common questions we get: Do knockout roses need deadheading? No, they do not. The old blooms drop off naturally to make room for fresh ones, saving you hours of garden chores.

This variety also offers a major upgrade in health. If you have battled black spot or rust on other roses, you will appreciate that the Rosa 'Radtkopink' is bred for superior disease resistance. It keeps its glossy green foliage looking fresh even in humid climates where lesser shrubs struggle with powdery mildew.

Growing Success in Your Zone

These rugged shrubs are incredibly adaptable, thriving in Zones 5 through 11. They perform best in full sun, needing at least 6 to 8 hours of direct light daily to fuel that non-stop flower production. While they are heat tolerant, gardeners in the hottest parts of the South might find they appreciate a bit of afternoon shade to prevent petal scorch.

Expect a mature size of about 3 to 4 feet tall and wide. This compact habit means you won't need to do heavy pruning. A simple shape-up in early spring, cutting them back by about a third, is all they need to wake up and start growing.

A Season of Continuous Color

The show begins in early spring and repeats in waves right up until the first hard frost. New growth often emerges with a burgundy tint before maturing to a deep emerald green, providing a rich backdrop for the hot pink blossoms. This extended bloom time makes them a smart investment for fall planting, as they often provide color well into October or November in milder climates.

Landscape Placement Ideas

Because they are so uniform, these roses are an excellent choice for a low flowering hedge along a walkway or property line. They create a boundary without blocking the view. They also thrive in large decorative pots, allowing you to bring that classic rose look to a patio or balcony.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do knockout roses need deadheading?

No, Knock Out roses are "self-cleaning" and do not require deadheading. The old blooms drop off naturally to make room for fresh flowers, ensuring continuous color from spring until frost without manual maintenance.

What zones do knockout roses grow in?

Pink Double Knock Out roses are hardy in USDA growing zones 5 through 11. They are exceptionally heat tolerant for southern climates while remaining cold hardy enough to survive winters in the north.

How much sun do Knock Out roses need?

Knock Out roses require full sun, meaning at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day. While they can tolerate partial shade, full sun ensures the most abundant blooms and keeps the foliage disease-free.

How big does a Pink Double Knock Out Rose get?

This shrub reaches a mature size of 3 to 4 feet tall and wide. If you are planting them as a hedge, space them about 3 feet apart to create a dense barrier while allowing for airflow.

Are knockout roses disease resistant?

Yes, the Pink Double Knock Out variety is bred for superior resistance to black spot, rust, and powdery mildew. Its thick, glossy foliage stays healthy even in humid conditions where traditional roses often struggle.

When do you prune knockout roses?

You should prune Knock Out roses in late winter or early spring, just as the new leaf buds begin to swell. Cutting the bush back by about one-third to one-half encourages vigorous new growth and better flowering.

Do Knock Out roses need winter protection?

In colder regions like Zone 5, applying a layer of mulch around the base in late fall helps insulate the roots. In warmer zones (7-11), they typically do not require special winter protection beyond adequate hydration before freezing.

Knock Out Roses A+

Roses arrived fresh and healthy!!!!!!!! I'm so pleased:)

Good quality plants.

I have purchased these knockout roses 3 times. One set two years and 2 sets this year. The roses come very well packaged and ready to plant. All of my 9 roses are thriving and blooming despite the fact they are minimally maintained. For example, I don't fertilize them and don't do anything other than mulch them and water them during the hot periods.

Beautiful rose for very reasonable price

I've had to replace a number of my knock out pink roses due to the cold dlimate I live in. The ones I bought, previous to this, online, were about four inches tall and very under-developed. This rose was about two feet tall and blooming profusely and the price was well below the little, spindly roses I'd purchased previously. I was extremely pleased with this rose bush.

Beautiful!!

I have bought 4 different plants from this company. They arrive quickly. They are packaged wonderfully and securely. They plants are so full and grow quickly. You will be so happy with this rose.

06/12/24: have purchased over 10 of these rose bushes. They are growing like little weeds. Thank you Root Booster (during planting & Miracle Grow once a month). If you want a new plant that requires little care and results are amazing, this is the right plant for you. The little rose bush will tell you if something is wrong. Just look at the leaves. If they have holes or leaves are brown, they have something “bugging” them. Get out the bug spray. If they have yellow leaves, you are either watering too much or it’s saying “Hey you! Give me a drink.) Roses like a drink about every 10 days.
