Name That Rose!

Sunny Knockout Rose?

9 years ago

Hi everybody!

I just moved to a new house and there is a (struggling) rose in the front bed. I am thinking of transplaning it to a new bed (to make room for more roses, climbing this time), but I need to know how tall its likely to get. I live in Southern Virginia so we're zone 8. I suspect its a sunny knockout rose as they are very popular here, but wonder why its having so much trouble if it is a knockout. Any thoughts?

Rose:
Yellow Flowers
open - can see Stigma(?)
Leaves - Smooth
No Suckers visible (but it is really sad looking)

Sort by:Oldest

It could be, do you have any photos of fresher blooms?

I suspect that it hasn't been watered or fertilized very much before you moved in. They can get 4' - 5' tall here, and 2' - 3' wide.

If it is Sunny Knockout, then the blooms fade to white. Could also maybe be Carefree Sunshine, which is a very nice yellow. Mine has bloomed all summer and is still blooming.
