'Pink Knock Out' Rose

Rosa 'Radcon'

'Pink Knock Out' RoseFlower Color:  Medium to bright pink flowers that reoccur multiple time a season.  Some pruning after initial spring flowering increases the number of summer flowers.  Very heavy flowering.

Size:  3-4' in height and 3-4' in width.  Can grow even bigger, if not occasionally pruned.  'Knock Out' Roses grow very quickly.

Foliage Color: Dark green with reddish-purple new growth. Very nice and clean.  Vigorous growth can be expected.  Foliage is nicer on the pink varieties in the spring.  Very little problem with leaf spot.

Hardiness Zones:  5-9.  Performs well in most areas of the US.

Light Requirement:  Full Sun to Part-Shade.  More sun produces more flowers and a denser growth habit.

Drought Tolerance:  Moderate, prefers moist well-drained soil.  Some additional watering in the summer is beneficial for vigorous growth and flower production.

Notes:  Patented variety, propagation is prohibited.  Hybridized by William Radler and introduced by Conard-Pyle Co. and Star Roses. Very disease resistant.  Many new hybrids don't live up to the hype, but this one exceeds it.  Great variety for mass plantings.  Re-blooms every 4-6 weeks.  Very widely available. A deer magnet, like all roses.  If you can not grow 'Knockout' roses, give up.
