#ProPlantTips for Care

Easy-care, low maintenance and forgiving, the Sunny Knockout shrub Rose needs at least 6 hours or more of full sun each day. They also require well-drained soil that won't retain water for long.

We always recommend Nature Hills Root Booster when planting to get your Roses off to the best start. Follow the directions on the package.

For best results, give Roses a medium amount of water on a regular basis. This plant is moderately drought tolerant, but does best if you water deeply in times of extreme drought.

Wait until early spring to prune them. Simply trim down to 6 inches, just as they start to grow for the season.

Add two inches of mulch over the root system, and plan to reapply in spring. Over time, the mulch will break down to improve your soil!

This tough shrub is not bothered by common pathogens like black spot, powdery mildew or leaf rust. It truly excels in humid climates where other Rose varieties can't survive.

Apply a slow-release fertilize once a year in early spring. Follow directions on the label.

Get started on the landscape of your dreams! Use Sunny Knock Out Shrub Rose throughout your yard to tie the look together. It's a fabulous choice that performs beautifully.
