Dormancy Notice: This plant, like many others, enters dormancy or semi-dormancy in the late fall through early spring. *THIS PLANT IS NOT DEAD. It is completely healthy but upon receiving the plant, you may notice it exhibits fewer leaves, discoloration, or complete leaf drop. This is normal and essential to the plant's health. In fact, planting during dormancy promotes root growth, giving your plant a better start for spring, when new foliage will begin to grow.

How to Care for Petite Knock Out® Rose

Be sure to read our planting instructions to ensure a healthy and happy plant for years to come!

How do I mulch Petite Knock Out® Rose Shrubs?

How do I mulch Petite Knock Out® Rose Shrubs?

We highly recommend that you mulch your Petite Knock Out Rose shrub with either a ground hardwood mulch or a ground cypress mulch depending on your local availability. Any type of mulch will do but cypress or hardwood mulch will be of a higher quality and provide better nutrition overall as they breakdown. Mulching helps to keep weeds away which will compete with your new investment for water and nutrients. A 2 to 3 inch layer of mulch is sufficient but remember to take care not to cover any part of the stem of the plant with mulch. It's better to leave a one inch gap of space between the mulch and the stem or trunk of the plant.

How do I fertilize Petite Knock Out® Rose Bushes?

How do I fertilize Petite Knock Out® Rose Bushes?

Shrub roses such as Petite Knock Out Roses grow best if they are fertilized once or twice in the summer. You should fertilize your roses monthly from springtime to fall. Knock Out Roses like nutrient rich soil and ample fertilization. Try using some Epson salt as well. This will help boost the levels of magnesium in the soil which promotes increased flower production. When selecting a fertilizer for your Knock Outs, use a rose fertilizer blended specifically for roses such as Espoma Rose Tone for example. Either chemical fertilizers or organic matter can be used successfully.

How do I water Petite Knock Out® Roses?

How do I water Petite Knock Out® Roses?

After back filling and lightly compacting the 50/50 mix of existing soil and compost give the Petite Knock Out Rose a good deep watering. This is not to be rushed. Most of the water you put on the plant at first will run away from the plant until the soil is soaked. A general rule of thumb is to count to 5 for every one gallon of pot size. For example a one gallon pot would be watered until you count to 5 a three gallon pot would be 15 and so on. Check the plant daily for the first week or so and then every other day there after. Water using the counting method for the first few weeks. You’ll want to water the bushes regularly after planting until they’ve been well established. We like to tell folks that when watering Roses its best not to water the foliage of the plant. Water at the base of the plant near the soil line only. Although Knock Out roses are generally resistant to black spot there are other foliage diseases that can effect roses in general that are favored by wet foliage conditions. Gator bag Jr. can be used to help aid in this process and also provide plants with a good soaking due to the slow release of the water into the root-zone of the plant. Soaker Hoses can also be used to water when planting a long hedge.

How do I prune Petite Knock Out® Roses?
