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.
Fall Planting. Plant Knock Out roses in the early fall in Zone 7. Planting Knock Outs in September, October and even the first week of November can be done safely. This allows the roots to become settled before the cold of winter.
