Are Knock Out roses salt tolerant?

Question

I live in Clearwater Fl…west coast of Florida and am concerned about some salt spray from the Intracoastal waterway.

Answer 1

No roses really handle salt well. The Knock Out and Home Run lines of rosebushes are very hardy rosebushes and will handle the conditions better than most other varieties. I would recommend planting a couple of either line of rosebushes and see how they do, plant them in an area that is the most protected from the spray as possible.
