How to keep them shaped during warm weather. I first cut mine back like was done here. Looked really good for a little while. Called myself cutting the dead heads off to help others come out. Now it seems like new blooms don’t tend to come until the stem grows out a good ways past the main bush.
This guy does not know what he is talking about .my yard man cut down my knock outs in the fall and they died because we had a FREEZE. Never cut your roses in fall .DO it in the spring.
All rose growers cut back in fall ! If you were facing a freeze you could have used mulch or straw to cover the base of plant to protect from a hard freeze !
Not really. They should be cut back in mid-to-late winter. Never leave the task to a landscaper. They will hack away in the fall to make the yard "pristine", and many times that comes from the direction of the homeowner/HOA. By the time spring rolls around, it really is too late to do a proper pruning. Anyone, and that includes the HOAs, who is considering a rose that will be maintained by a landscaper and/or be pruned with a hedge trimmer, don't plant them! There are several reasons why. Pick another shrub that can be maintained by a hedge trimmer.

Mine are tall. Can I cut them with chainsaw the height of my porch?
That’s exactly what my landscaper looks like after I communicate with him to trim just a little off the top🤦🏽♀️. “ Take 2-3 inches off the top”
May I know when would you prune the rose ? Fall or winter ?
In the spring only .if you do it in fall,they will die if you have a FREEZE in winter inc.knockouts.
@@susanlapointe1135no they won’t
That will cause deseases and insects on nockout roses which can lead to rose rosette desease. 🤦🏼
