Rosa Pink Double Knock Out

The Most Disease-Resistant Knock Out Yet Hardy to Zone 10, Blooming for 3 Seasons, and Double-Flowered 

 As beautiful and high-performing as the original Double Knock Out is, this pink-flowered addition to the family offers even better disease resistance, greater hardiness, and even larger, more fragrant blooms!

A fine addition to any sunny setting, it takes its place as possibly the most carefree and impressive Modern Shrub Rose yet Pink Double Knock Out begins flowering in late spring, each 3- to 3 1/2-inch bloom boasting about 20 petals, a light sweet scent, and a pointed star shape, thanks to nicely recurved outer petals. Very profuse, the flowers continue all summer and even into fall. They are borne in clusters of up to 5 all along flowering stems on well-branched, compact shrubs. You could not find a longer, more profuse bloom season from any other rose. And as if this weren’t enough, Pink Double Knock Out?self-cleans — the spent flowers drop neatly to the ground, so you don’t have to deadhead them.

But that is only one of Pink Double Knock Out’s merits. This vigorous little shrub offers unsurpassed resistance to blackspot, COMPLETE tolerance of downy mildew, and abundant, healthy foliage that looks good even in those rare out-of-bloom moments. Plant it right in the middle of the shrub border, use it as a hedge or foundation planting, or even put it in a container — it is attractive enough to stand alone, yet doesn’t mind a little crowding. Anything less like the traditional finicky hybrid tea rose is hard to imagine!If you are a Knock Out? fan (and who isn’t?), be sure to check-out other members of this exciting family: Double and Rainbow.
