Roses add classic beauty to any garden, with their thorny stems in yellow, white, pink, or red with delicate, elegant flowers. Many varieties of plants use aromas to enhance their aroma.

That’s where nature’s exploration with knockout roses comes into play.

2. Boundaries

Knockout roses act as colorful border plants, brightening the edges with their beautiful flowers from spring to frost. Plant them on a fence or around an island bed or use them to add color to a natural border where the edge of the yard meets the forest. The back or middle of a mixed, sunny border is the perfect place for sun-loving knockout roses.

3. Perennial beds

Mix knockout roses in perennial flower beds, where there may be gaps between flowering plants in spring and summer or after several flowers have faded in early autumn. Choose from several cultivars to ensure a range of colors throughout the growing season, add new shades to your garden, or stick to one or two simple color schemes if you prefer.

Knockout roses fit well into any garden style, from formal beds to pollinated gardens. Although pruning is not necessary, the knockouts can be trimmed to have a sleek look, if desired.
