Double Knock Out Roses

Question

Is it normal for double knock out roses blooms to fade and not fall off? I have to cut them off.

Answer 1

Yes, you do have to deadhead roses. All roses behave this way. By trimming the dead heads, you keep your plants healthier, and encourage further bloom. Roses need 1 side dressing of compost/fertilizer per month during the growing season, for steady bloom.
