| My Red Knockout rose was getting too big by our front door so hacked it back pretty hard 3 days ago.(It had alot of nice new growth on it before I cut it back) Usually they bloom in May here in pa but wonder if it will take longer to bloom now that I cut it back late this year. Any thoughts? |

| It'll bloom, most likely in mid May but possibly sooner if the weather stays warm. Knock Outs recycle quickly. |

| Lol, try and stop it from blooming! It will probably bloom even more because you pruned it back! |

| My DH cut my 5 foot knockouts back to 3 feet last year with hedge clippers. They bloomed non-stop. Don't worry. |

| They love to be trimmed back. I went out this year and just tipped mine and it burst into bloom in a week. |

| I am a first year gardner, and I got mad at my Knockouts because they had black spot last year I had cleaned the leaves away and cleaned up the entire area...free of any dieased leaves, and this year they had black spot on their canes.....So, I hacked them back to about 6 inches, in March, and now they are soooo healthy looking....and I started treating them now for black spot....I figured it is better to start controlling it now. and not let it get a headstart. Whether they will bloom, I dunno, but the bushes look great and healthy! :) |
