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.
1 Most Knock Outs grow about 3-4 feet high by 3-4 feet wide in a naturally compact, upright, round shape; although Iâve seen them sprawling upwards of 5 feet if theyâre happy and unpruned.  Hardy to Zone 5: In colder climates, Knock Out roses can be protected for the winter or brought indoors in pots.
