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.
