Last year 3 of my knock out rose bushes did not bloom, then this year they grew out from the bottom and the blooms are a very deep red. My friend also had this problem and they are also a deeper red, almost burgundy color. What caused this? Part of them grew out from the bottom and are a deeper color a burgundy color, 2 of them were the trees, and my friend has a tree that has done the same thing and is the deeper color also, very disappointed.
It sounds like the desired upper part of the rosebushes have died, the Knockout roses parts. What you are seeing bloom now is a hardier root stock that the upper knockout rosebushes were grafted to. This happens from time to time. The upper part of the rosebush dies and the hardy rootstock takes over. The growth coming out low like you mentioned is a classic sign that this is what has happened. Here are some articles for you on this subject: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/roses/own-root-roses-grafted-roses.htm

Looks like pictures of Shot Hole Fungus on my Knockout Rose. First tried the baking soda and water treatment then purchased a mildew product. It got worse and now almost all leaves have the holes or some small white streaks. Should I cut the bush back since there is so much damage and hope it will try to recover these next few warm months we have in Tennessee? Thanks for any suggestions. Never did have the Green Thumb!! :(
If shot hole disease is affecting your plant, then you may not have any other choice but to cut off all the infected growth and disposing of it (as well as any fallen debris). Here is more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/disease/shot-hole-disease-fungus.htm
The leaves on my knockout roses have holes in them. What causes this? The roses are coming up beautifully.
It sounds like you have an insect munching on your roses. Some beetles have long pointy snouts and drill into the leaves to suck out the juices. Spraying the rosebushes with a good insecticide or giving them some Bayer Tree and Shrub granules should get things taken care of.
I planted 2 double knockout roses last year. One is doing wonderful. The other one blooms at the beginning of spring and now it has stopped and is not growing. I have fertilized them both. The one that is not doing as well is shaded by a by a pine tree. But it still gets sun. Help...
You hit the problem on the head. The pine tree shading the rosebush is causing the issue. The Knockout roses, as with most other roses, love their sun. To get the best performance they need lots of sun, apparently the pine tree is shading it too much. I have seen this in my own rose beds too. In some of those cases I was able to prune up the tree so that more sun came through. In others I had to move the rosebush.
Our knockout roses have the incurable virus, I think it's called RRD. We have our bushes sprayed by a lawn care but our neighbors don't have theirs sprayed. If we plant new knockout roses, would they probably get the disease again since neighbors do not spray their bushes to keep them from becoming diseased?
If the neighbors roses do have Rose Rosette Disease then it could spread to your rosebushes. However no spray will prevent RRD as it is a virus and not a fungal or other form of attacker. If the neighbors roses have RRD, it would be best to inform them of it and hopefully they will do the right thing and get rid of them. The new Knockouts should be find if their roses show no signs of the nasty disease. Here is an link to an article for you too:

We have 3 knockout roses planted side by side. Two are new this year and one is 3 years old. The older one and one new one have leaves and stems turning brown and drying up. What would cause this and can they be saved and, if so, how?
They could be planted too close together and need more separation so that they are not constantly battling for nutrition, water and sunlight.

My roses bloomed and then looked like they were dying. They have holes in the leaves. Is there anything I can do?
It sounds like they are being attacked by insects or night feeding worms. Most likely insects. I would buy some Bayer Tree and Shrub granules and give some of the granules to each of the rosebushes per the label instructions. Water in well and wash all the foliage down with the cool water. Do not wash the foliage during the heat of the day, do this washing early in the morning or in the coolness of the early evening. This should get the insect issues under control as the systemic action moves through the canes and foliage.
