Peachy Knock Out® Rose
Rosa 'Radgor' PP25628
I like Peachy Knock Out® because it gives you that warm, peachy “glow” without asking you to babysit a rose—steady blooms from spring through fall, a full rounded shape, and the kind of toughness that makes sunny beds feel easy again. Plant it in full sun, water it well while it’s getting established, and give it one good prune in late winter, and it’ll reward you with months of color that looks right at home in borders, mass plantings, or as a standout specimen.

Peachy Knock Out® Rose for Peachy Blooms, Easy Care, and Season-Long Color
Peachy Color That Glows From Spring To Fall
Peachy Knock Out® Rose delivers that “soft sunset” look gardeners crave—an overall peach effect created by pink petals that warm around a yellow center. In cooler spring and fall temperatures, the color often looks more intense, giving you extra pop as the garden wakes up or winds down. It’s a beautiful way to add warm color without going neon, and it plays especially well with blues, purples, and silvery foliage.
The blooms have a classic rose shape, but the plant behaves like a modern landscape shrub: steady flowering, tidy habit, and easy integration into mixed beds. Use Peachy Knock Out® as a focal point near an entry, repeat it along a walkway for rhythm, or plant it where you want warm color to soften evergreens and dark mulch. It reads beautifully from a distance and still feels charming up close.
Nonstop Bloom Cycles With Knock Out® Toughness
This rose is made for real-life gardens. Peachy Knock Out® blooms from spring through fall, keeping color in the landscape far longer than a one-and-done flowering shrub. It’s also known for the durability the Knock Out® family is loved for—strong disease resistance and a rugged, reliable nature that helps it keep looking good through summer weather swings.
Once established, it also shows good drought tolerance, which makes it a smart pick for sunny beds that heat up fast. The key is getting it rooted in well the first year: consistent deep watering, a mulch layer to keep the soil evenly moist, and plenty of sun. After that, the plant’s tough constitution really shines, giving you a long season of blooms with a simple maintenance routine.
A Full, Rounded Shrub That’s Easy To Design With
Peachy Knock Out® Rose typically matures around 3 to 4 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide, forming an upright, rounded, densely branched shrub. That medium size is perfect for foundation beds, mixed borders, and mass plantings where you want substantial color without a towering shrub. It also holds its shape well, so it looks intentional even when planted as a single specimen.
You’ll also notice attractive foliage details that add interest beyond flowers—dark green leaves with red new growth that looks fresh and energetic early in the season. Because the plant is naturally dense, it’s a great candidate for repeating in groups of three, five, or seven. Plant it in a drift, and you get a cohesive “block” of peachy color that stays lively for months.
Simple Pruning And Sunlight Keep It Blooming Like A Pro
Peachy Knock Out® Rose thrives in full sun for the best blooms, and it responds beautifully to a straightforward pruning routine. A late-winter prune refreshes the plant, encourages vigorous new growth, and sets the stage for heavy flowering. You don’t need a complicated rose technique—just a clean cutback to shape and open the plant, plus removal of any weak or damaged stems.
For long-term success, keep water directed at the base and aim for well-drained soil so roots stay healthy. A consistent mulch ring helps retain moisture and control weeds, and properly spacing plants supports airflow for cleaner foliage. With sun, sensible spacing, and one good prune each year, Peachy Knock Out® reliably delivers that “always in bloom” look that makes landscapes feel finished.

How to Care for Peachy Knock Out® Rose
Be sure to read our planting instructions to ensure a healthy and happy Peachy Knock Out® Rose plant for years to come!
How should I plant Peachy Knock Out® Rose?
Plant Peachy Knock Out® Rose in full sun in well-drained soil. Dig a hole about twice as wide as the root ball but not deeper, then set the plant so the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil. Backfill with native soil, water deeply to settle, and shape a shallow watering ring so water soaks into the root zone. Mulch the planting area with 2–3 inches of mulch to conserve moisture and reduce weeds, keeping it a few inches away from the base of the stems. If your soil drains slowly, plant slightly high or improve drainage before planting. A sunny start with good drainage is the fastest way to achieve stronger growth and heavier blooms.
How often should I water Peachy Knock Out® Rose after planting?
Water deeply right after planting, then keep the root zone consistently moist (not soggy) for the first several weeks. A good baseline is a deep soak about once per week, increasing to twice per week during hot weather, sandy soil, or windy conditions that dry the bed faster. As the plant establishes over the first year, continue deep watering during dry spells so roots grow down and out. Once established, Peachy Knock Out® is more drought tolerant, but it will bloom best with occasional deep watering during extended heat and drought. Always water at the base rather than overhead to keep foliage and blooms drier.
When should I fertilize Peachy Knock Out® Rose?
Fertilize in early spring as new growth begins using a balanced, slow-release fertilizer or a rose-specific blend. Apply it over the root zone (not against the stems) and water afterward so nutrients move into the soil where feeder roots can access them. If you choose to feed again, do so after the first major bloom cycle to support continued flowering. Avoid heavy fertilizing late in the season, which can push tender growth at the wrong time. Consistent, moderate feeding supports better blooms without sacrificing the plant’s naturally tidy habit.
When and how should I prune Peachy Knock Out® Rose?
Prune Peachy Knock Out® Rose in late winter before new growth begins. Start by removing dead, damaged, or crossing stems, then cut back and shape the plant to maintain an attractive, rounded form and encourage vigorous new growth that produces blooms. For additional airflow and cleaner foliage, thin a little crowded growth from the center rather than shearing the outside only. During the growing season, light cleanup is optional, but the most important step is that late-winter prune. It refreshes the shrub and helps it rebound quickly into a full, flowering plant.
