How to Grow
Light: Sun (> 6 hours sun)
Water: Try to keep the soil evenly moist, especially in their first growing season. Never allow the foliage to remain wet into the evening; water early in the day.
Spacing: 3 - 4 ft.
Fertilizing: To keep the flowers coming, feed your roses with a fertilizer blended especially for roses. This can be done after each bloom cycle.
Winterizing: Spread a layer of composted manure, compost, or shredded leaves over the base of the plant in late fall after the ground freezes. Covering these mounds and the lower parts of the bushes with evergreen boughs will add protection. Pull the mounding material away from the stem as new growth emerges in spring. Prune injured branches over when new buds emerge in spring.
Maintenance & pruning: Prune to remove deadwood, to control or direct growth, and to promote flowering. Wait until growth breaks in early spring before pruning. Every 2 or 3 years, remove about one-third of the old branches to stimulate new, fresh growth. There is no need to remove faded flowers because these roses are self-cleaning.
Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:
Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:
Not sure just how many plants will fit in your garden? Our calculator gives you the exact amount of plants required for your space. Simply update the values and the calculator will re-calculate accordingly. Spacing information can be found in the 'How to Grow' tab on each plant's page.
We bought and planted these a year ago. They are still quite small, but blooming nicely this year. Wish they had been a little bigger from the start, but patience will pay off.
We planted these quart size knock out roses in May 2022 and they have exceeded my expectations. These photos were taken in Oct 2022. They have grown so much and the roses are beautiful! Highly recommend!
My roses came very well packaged, and very quickly considering they were shipped all the way to Florida. 😃 They have been in the ground for only a few weeks and already are getting some blooms!
This is a beautiful Rose with old fashioned single flowers that are a lovely pale pink. It is a hard to find Rose in my area which is why I searched online for it. Normally I try to shop local nurseries. I am so glad that I came across your website! Great Garden Plants did a fantastic job shipping and packaging my Rose. It arrived in perfect condition and is doing very well even in spite of weeks of heavy rain here in Tyler,Tx! Thank you!
Small but healthy. First bloom appeared after 2 weeks.
My landscape rose came in great condition. It even had 2 buds that have since opened giving me a preview of how it will look when it grows larger. I couldn’t be happier. Great experience with this nursery.
Packaged nicely and is a very healthy plant.
Plant came infested with spider mites but it's still very healthy and happy.

Packaged well but all of these plants are babies and so tiny it will be 2 years before they look like anything more than just grown from seeds. I should have spent full price or grown these from seeds myself.

My plants bloomed within weeks being planted. They are so lovely! They are tiny, but I'm hopeful they will grow bigger over the next few years.
Excellent
I couldn’t find these locally so ordered them here. The plants were healthy albeit very tiny. Don’t think they were worth 20 dollars each
Maybe it was my fault that I did not notice that this rose is not a normal size (I was ordering it to be a full size bush). It is really too tiny for a garden. May be good for a planter or a rock garden. It is half the size that the web page stated (I did not see the size note at the time of the order, only after I received it that I went back to the web site, where it's not noted in a prominent place)
Hello Jim! I'm sorry to hear you're not happy with the size of your plants. We mention on the plant's page that we ship our plants as young plants and the size container they also arrive in. This information can be found just above and below the 'add to cart' button on our site. While it may not be a full sized plant now, we find thanks to our plant's root systems they establish into the garden quickly. Let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.
Wasn’t sure about ordering roses online-but they arrived on time, small but healthy. Much to my surprise they started blooming a few weeks after planting! Very happy with my new knockout roses
These blushing roses are beautiful
Love it ! Beautiful in every way, sure to enjoy for years to come!
They were packaged well but one plant was already being eaten by something... other plant was fine... trying to treat the one.
We're sorry to hear that one of your plants arrived damaged. If you're ever unhappy with the condition of your plants upon arrival take pictures and email them to us at [email protected]. We offer a 30 day guarantee on all of our plants and want you to be happy with what you receive. Thanks for your feedback, Amy!
