Knock out roses

Was just wondering if anyone else had a prob of their Knockouts dying back?

They are comming back up but it really annoyed me that they did die back at all LOL.
I thought it was just mine, but my friends around here said theirs died back too!

Well, mine didn't die all the way back....but I pruned the heck out of it this year....LOL I wanted to do it. I have 2 more potted that I can't figure out where to put them....LOL..My one gets huge, so that is one reason I really cut it back this year.....Your should do good anyway....mine is really filling out nice.....

Thanks LG. My biggest one did die all the way back dang it.
But it is comming back. It dosen't get real tall, I think because it isn't in full sun. It only gets about 3 hrs of sun a day.

My smaller ones didn't die all the way back but pretty darn near it

Only 3 hours of sun?

I think they need at least 6-8 precious girl!

I know

But I tried it there and it did very good until this spring.
It grew to about 4' tall had plenty of flowers, maybe not as many as the ones in full sun but it did flower.

I also had a hardy hibiscus there and it grew too. Not real shrubby but a little bit taller, but it too bloomed.
It's amazing how well they did
I did move the hibiscus to the south side of my house today so it would get bigger and prettier
