Planting & Care

Where to Plant

Sunlight: Your Knock Out needs at least six hours of direct sunlight daily for best performance. While four hours of sun allows survival, the tradeoff will be fewer blooms and a noticeably paler orange color compared to full sun placement.
Soil: Roses thrive in rich, well-draining soil with plenty of organic matter. For heavy clay, mix in generous amounts of compost or aged manure to improve porosity; for sandy soil, the same amendments will help retain the necessary moisture and nutrients.

Watering Requirements

For the first growing season, water deeply two to three times per week to help your shrub establish a strong, deep root system. Once mature, this rose is quite drought tolerant, but you should aim for one inch of water per week for continuous, abundant blooms. Inconsistent watering during dry heat will result in smaller flower heads and can make the plant vulnerable to stress.

Pruning Tips

This type of shrub rose blooms reliably on new wood, meaning the flower buds form on the current season's growth. The best time to prune is in early spring just as the buds begin to swell. Simply cut all canes back by about one-third to one-half their height; this shape correction encourages a dense, attractive shrub form and improves air circulation, which is key to maintaining its famous disease resistance.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a quality, slow-release granular fertilizer formulated for roses, such as a balanced 10-10-10, just after the spring pruning. A second application in mid-summer will help fuel the heavy reblooming cycle. Avoid any high-nitrogen feedings after August 1st, as this encourages soft, new growth that will not have enough time to harden off before winter frost, inviting cold-weather damage.

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.
