You are right. I am completely wrong. In spite of the missing sprinkler heads, I should have known they did a poor job. Mea culpa. Mea culpa. Mea maxima culpa.

For one thing, if you want to keep it blooming continuously, you need to groom it. This means clipping off the faded flowers. If you leave them, they’ll form rose hips with seeds inside and flowering will slow to a crawl. Grooming ‘Knock Out’ rose every week or so spurs new growth loaded with new rose buds.
