What to do when a dormant plant arrives:
- Unpackage on arrival and water
- Your plant will be ready to be planted in the landscape or in a container on arrival, or if you wish you can keep your new plant in its container until spring that is ok too
- If planting in the landscape
- Consider using a root stimulating fertilizer to get your plant working hard establishing its root system during the winter months
- Use a heavy Layer of mulch to protect the unestablished roots from frost
- If planting in the landscape
- Dormant plants do require some watering: once a week should be sufficient
- When Spring arrives and your plant begins showing signs of new growth increase your watering schedule to 2 times every 7 to ten days until established, then water as needed. Apply a slow-release granular fertilizer to give your plant a great start
The Sunny Knock Out Rose is the only fragrant member in The Knock Out Family. It has a slightly more compact and upright habit than The Knock Out Rose with bright yellow flowers that fade quickly to a pastel cream color. The yellow color of the blooms stays more intense during cooler times of the year. The dark semi-glossy foliage contrasts nicely with the bright blooms. Use a fertilizer formulated for roses to keep your plants healthy and blooming.
