Questions for those who are growing knockout roses here...

Will they bloom thruout the winter, if not for what duration are they flowerless? How drought tolerant/ lack of care tolerant for the Summer when I'll be gone?
Any good varieties that are 3-5 foot tall, more like a shrub and red?

Thanks in advance for your help.
BEST bang for the buck in this area. Most reds and pinks will grow 3-5 feet tall - just let them grow. They don't like a lot of water and like full sun.
Happy growing! Mallory voice
