Aiman's mom loves Double Knock-Out Roses so much she has been eyeing them every year for the past few years. They look amazing individually but they would look stunningly beautiful if planted in a group or a row. However, they are fairly expensive, at $30 apiece for a two-gallon container. So last spring, Aiman's dad finally bought one plant to try it out.

Luckily, at the end of the planting season last year, Aiman's dad found 8 of the Pink Double Knockout Roses on sale for 75% off at one of the small garden stores he frequented. It was close to halloween and too late to do any planting as the ground already began to harden. He bought all of these beautiful roses and put them in the ground temporarily to protect the plants during the harsh winter. He would have preferred the Red Double Knock Out Roses, but at 75% off, no beggars can be choosers!!!

Now that the long awaited Spring has finally arrived, it is time to properly plant these beautiful and highly sought after roses.

Aiman's mom didn't want these attractive roses to be planted too far in the backyard as she prefers to be able to see them out of her back door and kitchen window while cooking or washing dishes.

So Aiman and his dad set out to build a nice garden bed for these extremely beautiful roses his mom has been dreaming about. This is Part 1 in the series of "Making Garden Bed For Planting Pink Double Knock Out Roses." In this Part 1, Aiman and his dad are trying to figure out the best, quick yet inexpensive way of building the garden bed. They finally decided to go with landscaping bricks as a retaining wall alongside the garage so that they can be planted closer together to form a row like a shrub hedge.

The Pink Double Knock Out Rose is very stable and unfazed by the heat. Classic shaped flowers from early Spring to the first frost. With superior drought tolerance once established, it has the toughness and resistance for which the family is known. A vibrant color that perks up any landscape.

Since being selected as an AARS (All-America Rose Selections) winner in 2000, the patented Knock Out roses quickly became the largest-selling rose variety in North America. They’re fast becoming a staple of home and municipal landscapes and parks due to their carefree attitude and showy, summer-long blossoms.

It had everything — showy, continuous blooms; compact growth habit; tough-as-nails constitution; and, best of all, no need to spray for black spot disease.

Knock Out roses have several periods of blooming through the growing season. It is not uncommon to have the bushes in bloom every five weeks from late spring to early fall. An appealing characteristic is that the plants are self-cleaning so there is no deadheading of spent blooms needed to promote additional blooms. Knock Out roses are desirable due to their low maintenance requirements. Pruning is common in standard roses, but Knock Out varieties need this task done only about every three years. The plants have a compact, bushy appearance with a mature height of 4 feet tall.

‘Knockout’ rose, owes its uber-popularity to the belief that it’s the first “no maintenance” rose — perfect for the lazy gardener in all of us.

William Radler, a native Wisconsin rose breeder, worked tirelessly to cultivate the Knockout Rose. Introduced in 2000 by the Conard-Pyle Co./Star® Roses, Radler’s Knockout Rose is bred specifically as a low-maintenance, adaptive rose cultivar. Gardeners all over the United States, and beyond, have rejoiced. The Knockout Rose has enabled gardeners in cold-weather locations, such as my Massachusetts neighbors, to plant stunning rose gardens.
