I have about ten knock out roses. They get full sun for the majority of the day. They have lots of yellow leaves and seem to be giving off smaller blooms. What to do? Thanks,
Doreen

I own 2 Knock Outs and they are the most disease free roses I own. Not quite a continuous bloomer for me yet, but she is still developing. The color is definitely cherry red but cheerful and has quite grown on me. They only get afternoon sun and seem to be thriving on it.

Go the USEFUL LINKS on the navigation bar to the left and then scroll down to the CARE section. Then click on "Baldo Villegas' Bugs and Roses Home Page". You'll see both insect and disease damage to roses on his site. When I saw Baldo this spring, I mentioned that the site had an update of only 2005. Baldo grinned and told me that there is a finite number of bugs and diseases that attack roses and he didn't need to add any more information. Baldo is very much an expert in his field and I would always trust any information he put up on the site.

Thank you for your help. I love my garden, but I have never had any luck with roses. It gets me angry because they are so beautiful, and this one was suppose to be bug free. Oh well
Thanks again

Thank you! I guess I was blind as a bat. I see a few problems I might have with my rose bush. As soon as the leaves come out and change from the reddish to green, something is causing holes. Whether it be bugs or enviroment? Myabe you could help me. I don't have a digital camera, otherwise i would send one.
thanks

You might read up on sawfly. I don't know where you live, but there are many types of sawfly and they will skeletize (sp) the leaves. This is only a guess. You can see photos on Baldo's website and might be able to determine if I am on the right track.

Lyn

I'm sorry I should have told you where I live. I'm in Massachusetts (zone-6-7 I think?). I trimmed some of the bush today. The leaves have like white powder, then holes, until it's gone altogether.

A friend told me she cut deadheads her Knock Out rose by cutting off the bloom and stem it was on so I followed her advice and now it's not blooming. The leaves have turned a beautiful crimson color. Will my rose bloom again? I'm new at this rose thing.
Thanks, G

I am not quite certain where you are cutting the bloom off when you deadhead, but many users of the HelpMeFind site ask the same questions as others in the past have asked. We decided to archive the answers to the Questions on the Q & A Forum so that users could get answers quickly rather than waiting for a volunteer to answer your questions.
If you click on the Search Posts tab at the top of the page, you can enter the key word “Knock Out”, "Deadheading", "Pruning" in the search field and all of the answers to questions about this subject in our archive will come up. You may be able to get your answer immediately just by reviewing these posts.
If you feel you still haven’t got enough information, please post your question and we will archive the answers to your question, too, for the next user.
Yes, your rose will bloom again. There is roughly a six week period where buds develop and finally reach the bloom stage.
If you are new to "this rose thing", the various search engines built into the HelpMeFind site are wonderful and you will be able to find a lot of information just on the site.
Smiles,
Lyn

I've just read the comments on these roses! Mine was also beautifully covered this spring. I've cut the dead flowers back to the five leave point as I had assumed you should do with roses. Did I commit a huge boo-boo? YIKES--------- Help, please!

No, you haven't made a big mistake. Knock Out is a repeat blooming rose and will bloom again no matter where you cut back the rose. You can use the Search Posts tab and use the word "Deadhead" or "deadheading" or even "Knock Out" and find answers previously posted on this topic if you would like to read more information.
One of the primary dangers to a rose in the wild is being eaten. I just love Ralph Moore's quote about things like this. He says, "Roses can't read books." That means when a deer prunes or deadheads your rose for you, he doesn't necessarily deadhead at just the right time or right point. This means that if you did make a mistake, roses are very forgiving in many ways. They will come back just fine.

Lyn

I have always cut the spent bloom off, but cut it back right under the first leaves that have 3 leaves on them. I've never had a problem with them NOT repeat blooming. I also use "systemic fertilizer" which feeds and protects from disease/bugs. You also don't have to feed that often, maybe every 2 or 3 months (can't remember now, but read the label it will tell you). Good luck!
