I would like to plant a red knockout rose hedge behind my house. The problem is, I cant make up my mind whether to get Knockout or Double Knockout roses for this. In my mind DKO has prettier blooms than KO, but they are also much smaller, so I wonder which is more showy for mass planting.

FAQ
Are there different types of Knock Out roses?
Is it OK to plant double knockout roses?
You can have either Double or Single blooms. The Red and Pink varieties have the Double blooms and the Yellow, White and Blushing varieties have the single blooms. The different shapes you can choose from are the standard rose bush or the super cool tree form.

Doubles thrive in areas that receive full to partial sunlight and prefer at least 6 to 8 hours of sunlight a day. An area that gives your Double Knock Out shade in the afternoon will be more beneficial than morning shade.
