If you have no room in your garden or landscape, use these easy-going Tree Roses on your porch or portico! Place one on either side of your front door in large, exterior pots for a sophisticated, yet cheery greeting. Visitors will appreciate the yummy citrus scent as they approach your home!

Use a single tree in your foundation planting as a small accent near the front walk as a welcoming beacon for your front entrance, the sunny color readily coordinates with the exterior finishes of your home. Underplant the tree with spring bulbs, perennials and groundcover for a textured look that works beautifully throughout the season. Add short, dwarf evergreens to extend the interest over winter.

March a series of them down the length of a garden path to add structure and charm. Or, try this same look as a lovely backdrop for perennial gardens. For a marvelous look, try using groupings of 3, 5 or 7 of these trees as regular punctuation through a long hedge of Sunny Knock Out® Rose bushes.

Increase the formality with a disciplined planting plan. Adding the trees brings vertical height to your hedge to easily increase the dramatic impact. Your garden will look like a million bucks, but the level of care stays the same!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Knock Out® Rose bushes must have full sun (at least 6 hours or more) each day. The more sun, the more flowers! Choose a well-drained site for planting in your garden. Rose root systems won't tolerate wet soil. If you see puddles that last a long time where you hope to plant, you can mound up - add additional soil to a height of 18 and plant directly in the mound.

Elevate containers up off the ground and ensure they have good drainage and are planted in a protected location. New installations and container plants will require a moderate amount of regular water to get their roots established in your native soil. Test before you water by using the Finger Test method. Established plants are easier going, but do use a 3-4 inch thick layer of mulch over the roots of both potted and in-ground plants.

Knock Out® Rose shrubs display drought tolerance once their roots are well established. However, we recommend you baby your Tree Form plant a bit. Set up a drip irrigation system on a schedule to keep things really easy for yourself. While not required, you can apply a balanced Rose fertilizer twice a year, following the directions on the label. Usually, it's recommended to wait for the first application until after the first flush of blooms has passed. Give the second application no later than mid-summer. Each formula will have different application rates, so be sure to check the instructions.

Rose Tree Pruning

Traditional Roses often require a lot of attention to look their best, but not so with Knock Out® Roses' non-stop blooms that self-clean. Deadheading is a thing of the past! So all you do is sit back and enjoy the show!

Early each spring, after the last frost has passed, it's always a good idea to prune back the top of your Rose tree several inches to maintain the nice round form atop its trunk. You'll want to study your tree in early spring once the new growth is leafing out. Remove any crossing, damaged, or wild canes that have a mind of their own all the way back just above a new bud.

Make selective pruning cuts to open up the interior of the canopy for more sunlight and air circulation. You can also hard prune the entire canopy back with tip pruning to control its size if desired. Prune away suckers and branching that forms at the base or on the trunk each year too.

Rose Tree FAQs

Where Is The Best Place To Plant Rose Trees?

Rose Trees need a protected location in full sun, favoring the drying power of the morning sun. They flower best in at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. Choose a location in good, enriched soil that drains well and has good air circulation.

What Is The Best Month to Plant Roses?

You can plant Roses any time if you are able to provide enough consistent moisture and attention. While there is not a specific month that is best, generally because it changes with temperatures, climate and growing zone. However, the easiest times of the year to get Rose bushes established in your landscape are in spring after the last frost date, and in fall about 4-6 weeks before the first frost.

Do Roses Come Back Every Year?

Rose Trees are deciduous woody perennial shrubs and will return bigger and better each year.
