Knockout Double Rose 1 Gal Cherry Red – Low Maintenance, Black Spot Resistant

Meet the Knockout Double Rose

The Double Knock Out Rose represents the next generation in the Knock Out family. Its full, double blossoms resemble a classic rose with a lush, multi-petaled form. The plant is designed for reliable performance, maintaining color and structure across many weeks of the growing season. Notably, it shares the original’s resistance to black spot and blooms in a dependable cycle that returns each year, while offering slightly improved winter hardiness in chillier climates.

The combination of a classic rose look with easy care makes this plant a friendly option for both new and experienced gardeners.
