Description

Petite Knock Out® brings everything that made the original Red Knock Out® rose famous — the brilliant fire engine red blooms, the season-long re-blooming habit, the fragrance, the disease resistance — in a compact package that fits almost anywhere. At just 18 inches tall and wide, it’s perfectly sized for containers, patio pots, front-of-border plantings, and mass plantings in front of larger foundation shrubs. Hardy in Zones 5–10 and easy to care for, it’s one of the most versatile roses you can plant.

All the Knock Out® Character, Half the Size

Petite Knock Out® doesn’t compromise on what matters. The blooms are the same vivid fire engine red as the original, and they re-bloom continuously from spring through frost — no deadheading required. The fragrance is just as pleasing as full-size roses, making it a sensory delight up close in a patio container or along a walkway. Like all Knock Out® roses, it’s remarkably disease resistant and easy to maintain, requiring far less intervention than traditional rose varieties.

Made for Small Spaces and Creative Planting

The compact 18-inch habit opens up planting possibilities that full-size roses can’t touch. Use Petite Knock Out® in containers and window boxes for season-long color on the patio or deck. Plant a row along a low border or pathway for a ribbon of continuous red blooms. Mass plant in front of taller shrubs or foundation plants for a layered landscape effect that looks professionally designed. It’s equally at home in cottage gardens, formal landscapes, and modern minimalist settings.
