Lorraine,
You are not dreaming. Knock Out is, indeed, a dream come true! This shrub rose from Star Roses begs to be neglected. According to breeder Bill Radler, deadheading is not recommended – as a matter of fact, it is discouraged. If you want it to keep its shape, prune it when the forsythia bloom, otherwise, leave it alone. Knock Out is great for mass plantings, mixed with other shrubs and perennials or planted in containers.

Hi, Everyone!
I seem to remember a comment buried in one of last year's discussions on another subject about the deadheading of Knock Out roses. My spotty memory recalls that one of the growers/breeders recommended no deadheading as it restricts successive blooming. Am I dreaming or it that in fact the recommended approach to handling this plant?
Thanks and regards,
Lorraine
