Low-Maintenance Knockout Roses for Beautiful Virginia Gardens

Posted on

Everyone loves roses, and one of the most popular varieties around is the long-lasting Knockout Rose. Known for their consistent blooms throughout the summer, ease of care, and ability to thrive without the special attention required by other hybrid rose types, Knockout Roses are a favorite among gardeners. They’re cold-tolerant down to zone 5 and can handle the heat of our Virginia summers.

Plant them individually among other shrubs, annuals, and perennials in mixed beds and borders, or in large groups to create a colorful hedge or along a foundation for a bright border. For best results, we recommend pruning them back each spring after the last frost to keep them looking their best.
