Star® Roses and Plants has announced that National Knock Out® Rose Day will now be an officially recognized date by National Day Calendar. It will occur annually on the Friday before Mother's Day, which is May 9, 2025.
The decision to create a national day was made as part of the celebrations surrounding the 25th anniversary of Knock Out. From nearly 30,000 annual submissions, only about 20 are chosen by National Day Calendar. National Knock Out Rose Day will be recognized every year going forward.
"The Knock Out rose has become so recognizable over the last 25 years, we knew we wanted to try to get it nationally recognized with its own day, and we're thrilled that it was selected," said Susan Bacus Morgan, Marketing Manager for Star Roses and Plants.
Independent garden centers and online retailers that sell Knock Out roses are invited to participate in celebrating National Knock Out Rose Day on May 9 and through the entirety of the spring season. Star Roses and Plants has several free, ready-made options for those looking to leverage the buzz around the anniversary.
