Creative Planting Ideas For The Knockout Rose


Here are my favotite design ideas with Knockout roses that youmight want to try out for your own garden. Since the Knockout rose is a rose, that even people who can't grow roses can grow, be sure to plant some of these roses in your garden, especially if you have a only a limited time to spend caring for roses.

'Knockout Rose Flower


Design ideas for Curb Appeal with Knockout Roses

The picture above show how great the the 'Knockout' looks planted next to a white picket fence. The ball shaped dwarf boxwood bushes, pink peoni and blue salvia completes the flower bed and creates a very attractive front garden.

The picture above shows double pink 'Knock Out' roses planted in a narrow flower bed design. The taller companion flowers are pink Foxgloves.

I think this is such a colorful narrow flower garden and very beautiful also. This is very easy to re-create in any sunny garden spot that is narrow.

For a great inexpensive curb appeal, plant a row of red Knockout roses in front of a white painted picket fence.

Underplant the roses with white alyssums and blue lobelias, or white and blue lobelias. Not only is this a nearly no-maintenance combination, but it's a great showstopper that will make your front yard the envy of the neighborhood.


Foundation design ideas with Knockout Roses


Knockout roses are great for foundation plantings. For a beautiful look, choose either a larger specimen rose, such as the white flowered 'Sally Holmes', or any other compatible shrub as a focal point, then plant a grouping of either red or pink Knockout roses in front. For spring color under- plant with springflowering bulbs such as daffodils and/or tulips.

Again use self seeding annuals or low growing perennials around your roses. For a finished neat look plant dwarf boxwood or santolina as a flower border edging.


Container design ideas with Knockout Roses


Because of the compact growth habit of the Knockout roses, I like planting them in large containers and combining them with small flowering vines or white trailing lobelias. It is really a beautiful and simple way to decorate your outdoor livingspaces.

For a stunning focal point on your deck or balcony, plant three knockout roses of the same color in separate containers, and line them up against the railing so it's the first thing your eyes fall on when opening the sliding doors to the outdoors. It's a very colorful decorative touch that will give you a lot of compliments.

Now isn't this a show stopping front garden. These roses make this house the most attractive on this street.

And when you think about the long non stop blooming period of the roses, up to nine months in some areas, it's a very effective and useful landscape solution for a front garden.

Knockout roses also makes great plantings along driveways and walkways. Since they bloom non-stop until frost, you'll have great color for a long growing season.

If you have a wide border,'Knockout' roses look great lined up as a colorful edging along the border. Just be sure to use plants such as alyssums or creeping Thyme to underplant the roses with. This gives a neat finishing touch to your flower border.




Be sure to use some of these design ideas in your own garden situations. And there is hardly any upkeep with theses roses, and pruning Knockout roses is a breeze. Just trim to shape the bushes and remove any dead, spindly or criss-crossed canes, and no deadheading needed for re-blooms, since these roses are self-cleaning.
