The Double Pink Knock Out carries full, classically shaped roses in a clear bubble-gum pink that holds its color through Alabama heat instead of bleaching out. Like the rest of the family it blooms in waves from early spring until frost with no deadheading required, building into a rounded shrub 4 to 6 feet tall.

Plant it in full sun with good air movement and water deeply while it establishes; after that it is notably drought tolerant. An annual late-winter cutback by about a third keeps it dense and loaded with flowers. No spray program needed, which is the whole point of a Knock Out.
