Is Now a Good Time to Plant?

Yes! Fall is one of the best times to plant!

Landscaping experts often recommend planting in fall instead of waiting until spring. Here’s why:

  • Cooler weather puts less stress on newly planted trees and shrubs.
  • Fall soil is still warm, which helps roots grow and get established.
  • Cooler temperatures mean less water is lost through the leaves, making it easier for plants to stay hydrated.
  • Even after top growth slows for winter, roots continue developing below ground.
  • Fall weather often brings more rain and less heat, making new plants easier to care for.
  • By spring, your plants already have a head start. Their established roots can support strong new leaves, branches, and flowers.
  • Trees planted in spring must establish their roots while also dealing with rising temperatures and summer heat.

Plant this fall, and your trees can spend the cooler months getting settled instead of waiting until spring to get started!

Planting your Pink Double Knock Out® Rose

Planting Instructions for Pink Double Knock Out Rose

  1. Choosing the Right Location: Plant your Pink Double Knock Out Rose in full sun, ideally at least six hours of direct light each day. Plenty of sun produces the most flowers and helps the leaves dry quickly, which keeps disease away. It grows in USDA zones 5 through 10 and fits beautifully in foundation plantings, borders, and garden beds.
  2. Soil Preparation: Choose well-drained soil and loosen it in an area wider than the root ball. Mix in compost to improve heavy clay or sandy soil. Avoid spots where water stands after rain, since roses dislike wet roots.
  3. Planting: Dig a hole about twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep, so the top of the root ball sits level with the surrounding soil. For a continuous flowering hedge, space plants about 3 feet apart, center to center. For individual specimens, allow about 4 feet between shrubs. Mature plants reach 3 to 4 feet tall and wide.
  4. Mulching and First Watering: Backfill, firm the soil gently, and water deeply at the base right away. Spread 2 to 3 inches of mulch around the shrub, keeping it a few inches from the canes, to hold moisture and discourage weeds.

Care Instructions

  1. Watering: Water deeply two or three times a week for the first few weeks, then about once a week through the first season. Always water at the base rather than over the leaves. Once established, it tolerates heat well but blooms best with a deep weekly soak during dry spells.
  2. Fertilizing: Feed in spring as new growth begins with a balanced or rose fertilizer, following the label rate, and repeat after each major bloom flush if you want extra flowers. Stop feeding about six weeks before your first expected frost so new growth can harden off.
  3. Pest and Disease Monitoring: This rose is known for strong disease resistance, especially against black spot, so no regular spraying routine is needed. Good sun, airflow, and watering at the base keep foliage healthy. Watch for aphids or Japanese beetles in summer and remove them by hand or with a spray of water.

Maintenance and Long-Term Care

  1. Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring, just as new buds begin to swell. Cut the whole shrub back by about one-third to one-half to keep it full and compact, and remove any dead or damaged canes. Light shaping during the season is fine if a stem grows out of line.
  2. Winter Care: Pink Double Knock Out comes back reliably after winter in colder parts of its range. In zone 5, add a layer of mulch around the base in late fall for extra root protection during the coldest months.
  3. Growing in Containers: It can be grown in a large container at least 18 inches wide with drainage holes and quality potting mix. Container roses dry out faster, so check soil moisture often in summer, and in cold zones move the pot to a sheltered spot for winter.

Additional Tips for Growing Pink Double Knock Out Rose

  1. No Deadheading Needed: This rose is self-cleaning, so spent petals drop on their own and new buds keep forming. It blooms from spring until the first frost in flush after flush of fully double pink flowers. You can snip faded clusters for a tidier look, but it is optional.
  2. Planting a Hedge: Buying a 2-pack is an easy way to start a matching border or low hedge. Space shrubs about 3 feet apart so they grow together into a solid line of color.
  3. Shipping Note: Pink Double Knock Out Roses cannot be shipped to Arizona or Oregon because of state agricultural restrictions. When your plant arrives, unbox it right away, water it thoroughly, and let it rest in a bright, sheltered spot out of harsh afternoon sun for a day or two before planting so it can recover from the trip.

Pink Double Knock Out® Rose

Beware- not all Pink Double Knock Out® Roses are the same.

Be sure to get superior roses, grown by experts.

Better Roots Make Stronger Plants: Some nurseries send you "bare root" roses to save on shipping. Even worse, others have started digging them right out of the ground before shipping. This causes major transplant shock and long-term damage. We send you Pink Double Knock Out® Roses in soil-filled containers- ensuring a well-developed root system that will explode with growth and blooms!

Healthy Plants: We've seen other nurseries grow tall roses in tiny pots to save on shipping. This leads to a "root bound" rose, where the roots have outgrown their pot- they cannot absorb water and nutrients. They quickly dry out during shipment, leading to an unhealthy rose.

Pink Double Knock Out® Rose

The Pink Double Knock Out® Rose gives you the full, classic look of a traditional rose- without the fussy care.

  • Fully double pink flowers from spring until the first frost, flush after flush
  • Self-cleaning: no deadheading needed to keep it blooming
  • Strong disease resistance, especially to black spot, so there's no spraying routine
  • Tidy, rounded shape (3-4 ft. tall and wide) that thrives in zones 5-10

Not all plants are created equal

The Difference Is in the Roots

Every plant we ship has grown in a nursery container with its roots protected, so it arrives healthy, established and ready to thrive in your yard.

A full, branched Nationwide Plants tree in a nursery pot next to a thin bare-root tree with exposed roots Ours: container grown Theirs: bare root
Nationwide Plants Other Nurseries
How it's grown Grown in a nursery container, roots protected the whole time Pulled or dug from the field, tearing fragile roots
How it arrives Arrives in its pot with soil intact Arrives bare root, exposed and drying out
Before shipping Growing naturally until it ships Held dormant in a cooler, then shocked by a hot shipping box
Root health Strong, well-developed roots with room to grow Crammed into a small pot until it's root bound
Height Measured from the top of the soil Often includes the pot and roots
After planting Settles in quickly with less transplant shock Arrives stressed and can take years to recover, if it does

The height you see is the height you plant.

We measure every plant from the top of the soil, not the bottom of the pot. Many nurseries include the pot and roots, so a "5–6 ft." tree from them might stand only 4 ft. tall once it's planted.

Comparisons reflect common practices across the online plant industry, not any single company.

Honest Measurements: Some nurseries measure plants including the pot and roots, so the plant you receive is much smaller than you expected. We measure all of our plants from the soil line, so the height you see is what you can expect after planting.

From our nursery to your door

How We Ship Your Plants

Every order is hand-selected, watered and carefully packed so it arrives healthy and ready to plant. Here's what happens after you place your order.

  1. Hand-Picked for You

    Our team selects the best plant available for your order. For privacy trees, that's the tallest and fullest. For fruit trees, it's the best branched.

    Why it matters: Many online nurseries ship whatever is next in the row.

  2. A Deep Drink Before the Trip

    Every plant gets a thorough watering right before it's packed, so it starts the journey fully hydrated.

  3. Roots Sealed In

    We wrap the pot and roots in plastic to lock in moisture, so your plant has water to drink all the way to your door.

    Why it matters: Bare-root plants are often shipped with their roots exposed and drying out.

  4. Braced for the Ride

    Cardboard inserts are secured inside every box to hold your plant in place, so it won't slide, tip or get damaged in transit.

  5. Shipped Only by FedEx

    We ship your trees exclusively with FedEx. We've found they deliver the fastest and handle live plants the most gently.

And if anything goes wrong, every plant is backed by our 1 Year Warranty.

Healthy Roots Make a Huge Difference

  • Never buy bare-root plants. These trees are starved of nutrients, and have a low survival rate.
  • Beware of nurseries cut corners by growing in small pots. These "rootbound" plants are weak, struggle to absorb nutrients, and die quickly after planting.
  • Some nurseries try to sell oversized plants, but chop off vital roots so they can cram the rootball into a narrow box to save on shipping!

You Want Pink Double Knock Out® Roses Grown by Experts

Some nurseries ship small, weak roses grown in tiny pots to save money. These "root bound" plants struggle after planting and take longer to bloom well.

Nationwide Plants only sends you strong Pink Double Knock Out® Roses, selected and cared for by our plant experts, with healthy, developed root systems. That means they settle in quickly and start blooming sooner.

Months of Full, Double Pink Blooms With Almost No Work

The Pink Double Knock Out® Rose gives you the lush, classic look of a traditional rose, without the fussy care. Its fully double pink flowers have extra petals for a rich, romantic look, and they keep coming in flush after flush from spring until the first frost.

  • Blooms from spring to frost: repeat flowering delivers color for months, not weeks
  • Self-cleaning: no deadheading needed; spent petals drop on their own and new buds keep forming
  • Strong disease resistance, especially against black spot, so there's no spraying routine
  • Tough and heat tolerant: thrives in zones 5-10 and comes back reliably every year

Quality and Assurance with Nationwide Plants

Nationwide Plants ships every Pink Double Knock Out® Rose potted in soil with a well-developed root system, never bare root. Choose from 1-gallon, 2-gallon and 3-gallon sizes, or save with a 2-pack. Your rose is ready to plant and bloom as soon as it arrives.

Why Healthy Roots Matter: Bare-root roses often struggle with transplant shock and take a season or more to recover. A potted rose with established roots settles in quickly, grows stronger and starts flowering sooner.

The Easiest Way to Grow Beautiful Roses

Reaching a tidy 3-4 feet tall and wide, the Pink Double Knock Out® Rose forms a rounded shrub that fits perfectly in foundation plantings, garden beds and borders. Plant a row for a flowering hedge, or use a single shrub as a long-blooming focal point.

Low Maintenance, High Reward: With its self-cleaning flowers, disease resistance and heat tolerance, this rose is ideal for busy homeowners and first-time rose growers alike.

Planting and Care Tips

Plant in full sun (at least 6 hours of direct light per day) in well-drained soil. For a continuous flowering hedge, space plants about 3 feet apart; for individual specimens, allow about 4 feet. Water deeply 2-3 times per week for the first few weeks, then about once a week through the first season, watering at the base. In late winter or early spring, cut the shrub back by one-third to one-half to keep it full and compact.

The Nationwide Plants Difference

When you buy from us, you receive a healthy, well-rooted rose grown in a soil-filled container and ready to thrive. Order a 2-pack to start a matching border or hedge, and enjoy classic double roses all season with almost no effort. Please note: due to agricultural restrictions, we cannot ship to AZ or OR.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Pink Double Knock Out® Rose

How big does a Pink Double Knock Out Rose get?

A Pink Double Knock Out Rose typically grows 3 to 4 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide. It forms a tidy, rounded shrub that fits easily into garden beds, borders, and foundation plantings. You can also trim it back each spring to keep it smaller if space is tight.

What zones do Pink Double Knock Out Roses grow in?

Pink Double Knock Out Roses grow in USDA zones 5 through 10. They handle summer heat well and come back reliably after winter in colder parts of that range. In zone 5, a layer of mulch around the base in late fall adds extra protection for the roots during the coldest months.

How much sun does a Pink Double Knock Out Rose need?

A Pink Double Knock Out Rose needs full sun, ideally at least six hours of direct light each day. Plenty of sun produces the most flowers and helps the leaves dry quickly, which keeps disease away. In too much shade the shrub grows leggy and blooms far less.

When does the Pink Double Knock Out Rose bloom?

The Pink Double Knock Out Rose blooms from spring until the first frost, producing flush after flush of fully double pink flowers. It is a repeat bloomer, so you get color for months rather than a single short show. Each double bloom has extra petals for a fuller, more classic rose look than the original Knock Out.

Do I need to deadhead Pink Double Knock Out Roses?

No, Pink Double Knock Out Roses do not need deadheading to keep blooming. They are self-cleaning, meaning spent petals drop on their own and new buds keep forming. You can still snip off faded clusters if you want a tidier look, but it is optional and the shrub will keep flowering either way.

Are Pink Double Knock Out Roses disease resistant?

Yes, Pink Double Knock Out Roses are known for strong disease resistance, especially against black spot. That means you can grow beautiful roses without a regular spraying routine. Good sun and airflow, plus watering at the base instead of over the leaves, help keep the foliage healthy all season.

When and how should I prune a Pink Double Knock Out Rose?

Prune a Pink Double Knock Out Rose in late winter or early spring, just as new buds begin to swell. Cut the whole shrub back by about one-third to one-half to keep it full and compact, and remove any dead or damaged canes. Light shaping during the season is fine if a stem grows out of line.

How far apart should I plant Pink Double Knock Out Roses for a hedge?

For a continuous flowering hedge, plant Pink Double Knock Out Roses about 3 feet apart, center to center. That spacing lets neighboring shrubs grow together into a solid line of color. For individual specimen plants with space around each one, allow about 4 feet between them instead.

How often should I water a new Pink Double Knock Out Rose?

Water a newly planted Pink Double Knock Out Rose deeply two or three times a week for the first few weeks, then about once a week through its first season. Water at the base of the plant rather than over the leaves. Once established, it tolerates heat well but still blooms best with a deep weekly soak during dry spells.

Can Pink Double Knock Out Roses be shipped to Arizona or Oregon?

No, Pink Double Knock Out Roses cannot be shipped to Arizona or Oregon because of state agricultural restrictions. They can be shipped to most other states in several sizes, including 1, 2, and 3 gallon options and 2-packs. Buying a 2-pack is an easy way to start a matching border or low hedge.
