The Double Knock Out® Rose is a new, carefree landscape
rose. Its cherry red blossoms attract attention all summer.
Blossoms are about 3-inches wide, with a double form. The
blossoms fall off cleanly, so you don't have to remove old
blossoms. The foliage is a dark green that turns a dark reddish-green
in the fall. The foliage is very healthy with resistance to
blackspot and powdery mildew, so you can enjoy your rose!
The canes on this rose are winter hardy to the crown in northern
Zone 4 and do best with a covering over the crown to ensure
winter survival in very cold climates.

What's a "bareroot" plant?
 "Bareroot"
is a term that describes how a plant is shipped to you. A
bareroot plant is not in a pot, and is usually dormant (not
actively growing). See the photo to the right that shows what
a bareroot rose looks like. The bareroot plants that we ship
to you were harvested in the fall and placed in cold storage
over the winter to keep them dormant. In the spring, we ship
the bareroot plants to our customers, from early April through
mid May.
Bareroot plants are easy to grow. We include planting instructions
with your order. When you receive your plant, take it out
of the packing material and place it in a bucket of water
so that the roots are completely covered. Let the roots soak
for 4 to 24 hours, then plant it in your garden. Full planting
instructions with photos are available on our Planting
Roses page.
