Planting & Care

Where to Plant

Sunlight: This rose performs best with at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. While it tolerates partial shade, fewer hours of sun will result in fewer blooms and a "leggy" appearance.
Soil: Plant in well-draining soil rich in organic matter. If you are dealing with heavy clay, mix in compost or peat moss to prevent the roots from sitting in water, which this plant hates.

Watering Requirements

Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy during the first growing season to help the roots establish. Once established, these roses are surprisingly drought-tolerant, though inconsistent watering often causes leaf drop and pauses in bloom production. A deep soak once a week during summer heat keeps the flowers coming.

Pruning Tips

Knock Out® roses bloom on new wood, so you should prune them in early spring just as the leaf buds begin to swell. Cut the shrub back by about one-third to one-half of its size to remove dead wood and stimulate vigorous new growth. This annual "haircut" keeps the shrub compact and ensures a heavy flush of flowers for the season.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced granular rose fertilizer in early spring when you see the first signs of new green growth. Avoid fertilizing after late summer, as this encourages soft, tender growth that will be damaged by the first winter freeze.

Understanding Our Container Sizes

At Nature Hills, our plants are sold in industry-standard nursery containers. You will notice we use the word "container" rather than "gallon." Container numbers follow a nursery trade size standard, not liquid volume. The number tells you the plant's size category and general maturity level. A larger container means a more established plant with a stronger root system.

Container Sizes

Quart

Plant age: 6 months to 1 year
Best for: Ground covers, perennials, ornamental grasses
What to expect: Our smallest and most affordable size. Well-suited for planting in multiples across a large area. Allow 1 to 2 seasons for full establishment.

#1 Container

Plant age: 1 to 2 years
Best for: Shrubs, perennials, smaller trees
What to expect: About the size of a large coffee can. A well-developed root system in a manageable size. Good value choice when you have time to let the plant grow into the space over a season or two.

#2 Container

Plant age: 2 to 3 years
Best for: Shrubs and trees where you want faster establishment
What to expect: A noticeable step up from a #1 in both plant size and root development. Good choice when you want visible presence without going to a larger size.

#3 Container

Plant age: 3 to 4 years
Best for: Most plants, most situations — flowering trees, shade trees, evergreen shrubs
What to expect: Our most popular size. Strong, developed root system. Plants in a #3 container make an immediate visual impact from day one. If you want a head start rather than waiting seasons for a plant to fill in, this is typically the right choice.

#5 Container and Larger

Plant age: 4 to 5+ years
Best for: Specimen plants, privacy screens, maximum instant impact
What to expect: Large, mature plants ready to make an immediate statement in your landscape. We also carry #7 and larger sizes for select varieties.

Why "Container" and Not "Gallon"?

Nursery container sizes follow an industry trade standard established for the nursery and horticulture industry. The number is a size designation, not a measurement of liquid volume. Actual soil volume varies by plant type, root mass, and growing medium. Using "container" is the accurate industry term. When you see #1, #2, or #3, think of it as the plant's size tier, not a gallon measurement.

Root Pouch Containers

Some Nature Hills plants arrive in a Root Pouch, a breathable fabric container made from 100% recycled materials. Root Pouches encourage denser root development through air pruning, which discourages root circling and promotes a stronger, more fibrous root ball at the time of planting.

There are two types. Knowing which one you have changes how you plant:

Degradable (brown or tan fabric): Plant the entire pouch directly in the ground. The fabric breaks down naturally in the soil over time.
Non-degradable (black or gray fabric): Remove the pouch before planting. Cut the bottom open with scissors, then peel the sides away. The fibrous root ball will hold its shape.

Not sure which type you have? Check the tag on your plant or contact us and we will confirm.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Most flowers require continuous care and attention to bloom profusely every year, but lucky for you this Shrub Rose is easy to care for and requires minimal attention. Planting the Shrub Rose in full sun with approximately 6 hours of direct sun per day in well-drained soil is the first step to allow this Rose to need very little attention in the long run. But Blushing Knock Out® also tolerates partial shade, especially afternoon shade in the hottest of its favored growing zones.

Provide good air circulation and proper site selection for Rose growing success. We are all about working smarter, not harder. Pampering your Rose with a 3-4 inch thick layer of mulch will do the hard work for you to ensure that the Rose has even moisture. Don't forget the Nature Hills Root Booster at the time of planting, to give this fragrant Rose life-long support!

The reasons to purchase your very own low-maintenance Blushing Knock Out® Rose just keep coming. No need to worry about deadheading spent flowers because it is self-cleaning and does the hard work for you! When it's time to prune your Rose, remember to leave it untrimmed in the fall and winter, then in the early spring as the plant starts coming out of dormancy, cut all stems down to about 6-8 inches.

How often should I water Blushing Knock Out® Rose, and should I water at the base?
