Pink Double Knock Out® Shrub Rose

How can you not fall in love with these gorgeous, super-showy pink blooms? Pink Double Knock Out® Shrub Rose (Rosa 'Radtkopink') is an excellent choice when you need a profuse bloomer! Enjoy an abundance of large, double-petalled, bubble-gum pink blossoms from spring until late fall! Best of all? Knock Out® Shrub Roses are impossibly pretty and just as tough as nails!

Appreciate their dark pink buds and medium pink, cup-shaped blossoms as they grow naturally on the shrub. Or, cut armloads for the most amazing indoor cut flower arrangements. You can use the blooms in bouquets and if you've left any of the blooms until autumn, they'll turn into ornamental orange Rose Hips! Leave these Hips for the birds, use them in your winter décor, enjoy colorful dried bouquets, or make high Vitamin C tea and preserves from the fruit!

The vigorous Pink Double Knock Out® Rose makes it easy for you to gain a designer look in your landscape. Our high-quality plant materials give you a big head start on your dream yard. Include sprays of dark green foliage in your bouquets. They contrast so well against the bright pink double flowers. Enjoy flowers right up until autumn (sometimes right until frost!), and once the chill hits the air, you can still enjoy the Knock Out® Rose's attractive violet-hued fall foliage!

Pink Double Knock Out® Rose isn't grafted. Instead, it grows on its own roots, which gives them added resiliency in cold winter zones. No matter what Old Man Winter throws at you, the Rose will grow back in the spring, looking just the same as the original. Give them full sun, well-drained soil and a medium amount of water and let them shine for you.

Rest assured, these tough Shrub Roses are disease resistant. They can handle heat and drought once established. It even thrives in humid conditions. No fuss, no muss, but lots of flowers. Hardy throughout USDA growing zones 5 to 9, there is little these resistant and resilient plants can't handle in your yard! Knock Out® Roses have resistance to blackspot, powdery mildew or leaf rust and also do very well in humid climates. What a wonderful plant!

Planting and Application:

Decorate your landscape with these easy-care Landscape Roses grown in the ground. If you prefer, they are also easily grown in containers for a dramatic profusion of color. Rely on their charming color and tidy, mounded form to welcome guests and boost the curb appeal of your property. Use in lower water-use gardens, as Firewise landscaping buffer zones, and watch as that hell strip lights up with color and charm!

You will love one as a colorful specimen, so imagine several of them planted together for a big impact! You'll appreciate how easy-care your new mass planting spectacle is when you fill large areas in profuse pink blooms! Go for the gusto and mix and match with other Knock Out® Roses for a rainbow display!

These plants make excellent additions to foundation plantings. Use a pair flanking on either side of your front door, or create interest with a triangular anchor planting at the corner of your home. Plant them two feet apart on center to create low hedges that grow together. Or, use multiple rows planted in a staggered zigzagging pattern to fill a wide, open area. You will enjoy an instant style that makes everyone happy and you'll definitely appreciate the performance!

Don't have a property? No problem! Plant them in a pot, and use it to decorate your sun-drenched balcony, porch or patio. Just give yourself and your guests some "wiggle room" to move past it, as those thorns are no joke!

Love a more traditional style, but want a modern interpretation? Create long, skinny planting beds and line them with a Boxwood hedge. Then use these gorgeous Pink Double Shrub Roses in rows or evenly spaced groupings to add pops of color. Integrate these beauties into your perennial or shrub borders. Use groups to create enormous visual interest. Repeat this treatment in each of your sunny planting beds to tie the entire landscape design together.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

These vivid plants do well across much of the United States. Give them full sun, even moisture, and good soil fertility to keep the blooms coming. Knock Out® Rose bushes must have at least 6 hours or more of full sun each day. The more sun, the more flowers! Plant in well-drained soil that doesn't stay wet for long after a rain. If you see puddles that remain, you'll want to create a raised planting bed. For truly soggy soil, plant them in containers.

Be sure to include a packet of Nature Hills Root Booster when planting. You'll love the boost in performance when you get your Roses off to the best start. Follow the directions on the package.

Although they are often listed as drought tolerant, Nature Hills recommends that you provide Knock Out® Shrub Roses with a medium amount of water on a regular basis. You'll be so pleased with how quickly they perk right up. For best results, water these regularly, or add a drip irrigation system beneath the mulch to make it easier for you.

If you are growing Roses in containers or in the ground, use 3-4 inches of arborist mulch to cover the root system. Apply a slow-release fertilizer for Roses in early spring and again in mid-summer. Follow the directions on the label.

These plants will stay smaller in the colder USDA Growing Zones. Each year in early spring, prune them down to 6 inches, just as they start to grow for the season. Wear gloves to protect your hands. Pink Double Knock Out® Roses "self-clean", so you don't even need to deadhead spent blooms. What could be easier? Pruning is best done in early spring if needed.
