112 The Perennial Farm is “The Delivery Specialist” with deliveries to most locations 2-3 times per week

The Knockout® Rose ranges from 3 to 5 feet tall and equally wide. It produces multiple Double Knockout® Roses clusters of terminal blooms, each 3 to 3.5 inches across. These very light, fragrant fl owers come in many colors and will bloom from spring until frost. Humidity doesn’t seem to bother the Knockout Rose, and it’s drought and cold tolerant. It’s somewhat shade-tolerant but does need about six hours of full sun per day. True to its low maintenance reputation, the Knock Out Rose doesn’t require deadheading and is resistant to aphids, powdery mildew and black spot, the scourge of rose enthusiasts. Choose a well-drained site with good air movement. It’s perfect for grouped planting or even hedges. The foliage turns from a lustrous green to burgundy in the fall. Double Knockout Roses are more fl oriferous than regular Knockout Roses and they raise the bar with petal counts of 18-25, twice the number of Knockout, borne 3-6 on a stem. The additional petals present a fuller, richer pinkish/red infl orescence that is simply breathtaking. Plant 48” apart. Zones 4 – 9 Knockout® Roses Double Knockout Pink Double Knockout
