Growing Preferences
The Petite Knock Out Rose is exceptionally easy to grow in moist but well-drained soils of average fertility and full sun to part shade. As with all other roses, to avoid powdery mildew on the leaves, morning sun is a must to dry dew from the leaves. Afternoon shade or filtered sun is fine. We suggest 6 hours of direct sun light for best flowering.
Maintenance is minimal. The Petite Knock Out Rose does not require pruning, however will benefit from it. Prune the bush back to about 1/3 to 1/2 its height in late winter or very early spring, preferable before new growth begins to emerge. After this hard pruning, the bush will quickly flush out and start blooming with the arrival of warmer spring temperatures. Deadheading spent flowers through the season is not necessary however will encourage more new buds and flowers.
