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.

These are fast growing healthy looking rose bushes!! One was weak and did not make it, but I was sent a new healthy one
this little beauties arrived with blooms and buds aplenty. Are thriving in the ground and I'm looking forward to subsequent years of their loveliness
Has many blooms
I have been so happy with all my knockout roses from Great Garden
Plants. That is the reason I keep coming back.
Already blooming and so pretty. I have them in containers now but will transplant into front yard when they get a little bigger
Came in package as healthy green plant. Has continued to grow well in ground through fall.
I purchased several items and everything arrived in good health. After planting everything in their new locations and adding some good soil instead of the clay dirt that is the norm where I live everything seems to be thriving. We have had a dry summer so far and with regular watering the various rose plants are on their second round of flowers with additional new growth in the works. Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase and will undoubtedly be ordering again to fill some other spaces I have in mind.
These were really healthy and took off pretty fast. No complaints. Can't wait until they are big and loaded with blooms!
It died
Hello John!
I'm sorry to hear your rose died. We offer a 30 day guarantee on all of our plants. If your plant died during its first 30 days in your garden let us know by reaching out to us at [email protected] and we'll be happy to help you further.
I ordered 2 Sunny Knock Out Roses. One plant came in good shape and has done well. The 2nd one is starting to do okay, but looked half dead when it arrived. I immediately sent a note to Great Garden Plants about the 2nd one and never got a response. Even a note saying "give it some more time", would have been nice.
Are these knockout roses deer resistant?
Hi there! You’d think a plant covered in thorns would be deer resistant, but alas, this is not the case. Deer and rabbits both love to eat roses. It is theorized that they’re naturally high in vitamin C content, making deer eat them compulsively.
I want to buy 3ea. Of a yellow rose that turns color yellow,cream, and bronze colors. What do you suggest.
There are three roses that come to mind: Rise Up Ringo, Rise Up Ringo Climbing variety, and Sunny Knock Out. You can find links to all three below.
