These open into classic high-centered roses, with about 15 petals in an open form. All over the bush flower stems, 8 to 12 inches long, rise above the foliage, and each one carries at least 5 fat flower buds. Soon after the Coral Knock Out Rose leafs out, blooming begins, and continues throughout the summer and into fall. ![]() The leaves have a healthy and attractive gloss, and since this plant is very resistant to both black spot and powdery mildew, the foliage stays on the stems all season, staying healthy, glossy, and green. The new growth is a bright bronzy-red, adding color early in the year when it’s not yet in bloom, and the leaves matures to a rich, dark green. This rose is truly a handsome garden shrub, full of grace and beauty. The Coral Knock Out Rose grows into a full and bushy shrub, reaching over 5 feet tall and wide within 3 years, and with an abundant leafy form, rounded, and casually bushy, completely different from those gaunt and leggy rose plants you might have grown in the past. It’s wonderful coral pink coloring develops best in hot, humid climates, and its incredible disease resistance makes sure it stays healthy through the heat of summer, blooming continuously and making a spectacular show. But it is not true of all roses, and very untrue of the Coral Knock Out Rose. ![]() If you live in those conditions you may already know this. Roses are known to grow best in cooler climate zones, and many finish blooming once the weather becomes hot, and they often sulk and develop diseases in humid conditions. Coral tones are much rarer in roses than reds or pinks, which the earlier Knock Out roses were, so it’s understandable that we have had to wait a while for that color to arrive, but here it is. Continuous blooms combined with disease resistance and easy-care makes these the roses of the future, but available today. The Coral Knock Out ® Rose is the most recent addition to the amazing Knock Out ® series, which has been bringing a whole new look in roses to our gardens. Dead heading is not needed, but spring pruning and fertilizing is recommended. Resistant to both black-spot and powdery mildew, the leaves stay beautiful all season, and its abundant flowering is protected by its resistance to the rose midge. This bush is recommended for hot and humid zones, but it is also hardy through zone 5, without winter protection. The soil should be rich and moist, but well-drained, for the best growth and blooming. The Coral Knock Out® Rose should be planted in full sun, but it is also special for growing and blooming well in partial shade.
