What Are Knock Out® Roses?
First introduced in 2000, The Knock Out® Family of Roses has revolutionized the rose industry and remains the most prolific flowering shrub ever introduced. Each variety in the brand exhibits strong disease resistance, requires minimal maintenance, and produces the continuous bloom coverage that truly lasts from spring to fall.
The original Knock Out® rose paved the way for more introductions, including the iconic Double Knock Out® and the first miniature variety, Petite Knock Out®. The brand continues to expand whenever a genetic is deemed remarkable enough to carry the Knock Out® name.
Orange Glow™ and Easy Bee-zy™ are the newest additions to the Knock Out® Family of Roses.
