Garden Designs using Knockout Roses

Rose Borders





Garden designs using knockout roses and other rose borders to inspire you! Use these wonderful landscape roses for continuous color all season with little maintanence! When planted in groups, these knockout roses are show stoppers.

Try pairing the new "sunny yellow" variety, with some red miniature roses (or) red Celosias (annual flowers) in front of them.


Sunny Knockout

Sunny Knock Out® Rose, Rosa 'RADsunny' (PPAF), produces abundant single 3 inch wide bright yellow flowers with 5 to 6 petals. This bushy, compact and rounded shrub has dark green semi-glossy foliage, resistant to black spot, powdery mildew and rust. More disease resistant that its famous parent and grows to 3 foot high and wide. No flower fragrance, but the petioles release a strong sweetbriar fragrance

A great combination for Pink Knockout, is Blue Delphinium planted in clumps behind the roses, or some Ageratium (annual flowers) planted in front. Lavandar would be another good choice.

Dusty Miller, or plants that are silver colored would also go very well.

Pink Knockout

The Pink Knock Out, Rosa 'Radcon' (PP15,070) rose is another high profile floribunda Knock Out Rose for the landscape with brilliant pink blooms from spring to fall. Great addition for garden designs using knockout roses, in sunny garden or in containers with trailing perennials. Thrives in humid conditions and is black spot resistant. It is very maintenance free and an excellent low hedge or accent rose.

Rainbow Knockout

Rainbow Knock Out® Rose, Rosa 'RADcor' (PP17,346), is as carefree and hardy as its parent, Knock Out®. This vigorous shrub has dark pink buds and bright, medium pink, cup-shaped blossoms that fade to a lighter shade. It is as tough as it is beautiful, and black spot resistant. More compact and floriferous than the earlier Knock Out® roses. Crown hardy to zone 4 when mulched to ensure hardiness. Own root. Rainbow Knock Out seems to be the best of the Knock Outs so far, making them great for garden designs using knockout roses. It may not bloom the whole year in mild climates, but you can enjoy the lovely orange hips in the late fall and winter.
