Knock Out roses were bred to be extremely resistant to diseases and drought, and if that wasnât enough, theyâre also repeat bloomers, bearing a new flush of flowers every five to six weeks from spring until the first hard frost. Theyâre heat-tolerant across most of the U.S. and cold tolerant to zone 5.
If you plant your knockout rose when the weather is quite hot, then put the mulch over the soil to keep moisture in, weeds out and the soil temperature cooler in the heat. Please donât fertilize your newly planted knock out roses until a month after planting, especially bare-root roses.
