Description
Rose Sunny Knockout is a stunning, long-blooming shrub rose that adds a refreshing splash of color to the landscape. Its bright yellow buds open into gorgeous, buttery-yellow flowers that gradually fade to a soft, creamy hue. Unlike most Knockout roses, this variety is fragrant, offering a delicate citrus scent that adds an extra layer of interest. The deep green, glossy foliage provides a polished contrast to the blooms, while its continuous flowering habit ensures season-long beauty. With its tidy, rounded shape and self-cleaning blooms, this rose is an excellent choice for borders, foundation plantings, or as a statement shrub in mixed landscapes.
General Care
- Sunlight: Prefers full sun
- Watering: Water regularly after planting to establish strong roots and encourage continuous blooming; once established, needs minimal supplemental watering except in prolonged dry periods
- Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch to help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature
- Pruning: Prune in early spring to shape and promote fresh growth
With its cheerful blooms, light citrus fragrance, and season-long interest, Rose Sunny Knockout is a magnificent addition to any landscape, delivering color and elegance with minimal maintenance.
