Petite Knock Out® Rose

Directions for Planting and Care of Petite Knock Out® Rose

Planting Essentials

Choosing the Right Spot: Select a location that ensures well-drained soil and receives full to partial sunshine for 3 to 6 hours a day. Proper sunlight is key to the vibrant blooms and health of the plant.

Planting in Soil: Dig a hole that's about two or three times wider than the root ball of your Petite Knock Out® Rose. Place your plant gently, backfill the soil, tamp it down to prevent air pockets, and water it well to help the roots establish.

Container Gardening: If you're planting in a container, pick a pot that's roughly twice the width of your plant's shipped container. Use high-quality organic soil and ensure the pot has ample drainage to prevent waterlogging.

Care Guidelines

Watering Regimen: Initially, water your rose approximately once a week, ensuring that the soil remains moist but not soggy. As the plant establishes itself, you can reduce the watering frequency. Always check the soil 2 to 3 inches down; if it feels dry, it's time to water.

Feeding the Plant: Feed your Petite Knock Out® Rose with a balanced fertilizer in the spring and summer to encourage healthy growth. Avoid fertilizing late in the season to prevent new growth that might be harmed by winter temperatures.

Pruning Practices: Prune your rose during the late winter or early spring for shaping and to remove any dead or diseased leaves. Petite Knock Out® Roses are known for being self-cleaning, meaning they naturally shed spent blooms, making deadheading unnecessary.

Winterizing: In colder zones, provide extra protection during winter. Mulching and using rose cones can help shield your plant from harsh temperatures.
