If it had roots when you replanted it, then water well and it should be OK. The leaves that are drooping probably were damaged by the hail, or the stems that support them were damaged. They won't come back, but these roses grow fast and strong. I think it will be fine if you keep it watered and remove any broken or droopy leaves and stems. After a couple of weeks, a weak plant food will give it a boost too.

Hi again, There are a couple of possible issues here. Spraying anything in warm, dry weather has the potential to burn foliage. Be sure to DEEP water the day before spraying anything or giving any sort of drench. Spray in the early morning or evening when the day is coolest. Spraying Neem or other 'organic' insecticides can also burn foliage in hot weather because they contain oils. Your roses will have aphids every spring. I promise! Spring = aphids. Aphids are best controlled by squishing (very satisfying to the gardener) or blasting with a strong stream of water from a garden hose (more effective). Treating aphids with insecticide is a mistake, it sets your roses up for infestation by spider mites and spider mites are MUCH more difficult to kill. Aphid damage is cosmetic, they don't really harm your bushes. Since you've already used pesticide, relax, you won't automatically have spider mites but for heaven's sake don't use any more pesticide on your roses. I'm thinking that you used fungicide because yellowing leaves with spots sounds like blackspot. In central Texas you won't see BS on Knockout roses. Maybe some wimpy rose like Iceberg or Lagerfeld would BS in Texas but not Knockout. Your humidity level is too low and your summers are too hot. I think your roses defoliated due to spray burn. How can you best help your poor naked roses? Water, water, water. Your roses should be deep watered twice a week to grow & bloom nicely. Any week that you receive two inches of rain, don't water. If it rains less than two inches a week in summer, water. If it rains less than an inch a week in fall, water. Water, water, water. You have several chemical products formulated for roses in your garage and your Knockouts don't need them. Go to the garden center and buy a hybrid tea rose so you have a rose to nurture. You sound like a very nice person and you truly want to care for your roses but Knockout only needs water.

Hi Derek, I'm just north of Cullman...about midway between Birmingham & Huntsville. We've had the same extremely hot & dry June and extremely rainy July here. I don't think the weather extremes themselves should have hurt 3 year old KOs. Also would be surprised if a drainage issue is just now causing a problem since we've had lots of extremely rainy periods in the last 3 yrs...but there could be a new sinkhole, soil shift, etc, so worth checking the soil below to make sure. Very possibly could be something eating the roots as Michael suggested. My roses are currently being devoured by thousands of Japanese Beetles...started early June this year and still going strong...but you would notice the beetles on your bushes, and best I can tell from your pictures, that isn't JB damage. It could be leftover winter damage or canker damage from early spring. I had canker issues worse than I've ever experienced this spring and more winter damage to my roses than I can remember, too. I pruned most out early in the season, but did leave canes that had some damage, but looked like they might recover. Most of those are now dying since the heat set...weren't strong enough to handle it. You might not have noticed a canker spot low on a cane that otherwise looked healthy this spring, but that could now be cutting off energy to it.

Little green worms that are probably on the underside of your rose leaves munching...(size varies from tiny up to a inch long)... Sawfly larvae are called Rose Slugs....Least toxic spray would be safer insecticide soap or similar... Spinosad is very effective just be careful and follow directions as it can kill bees... Some people pick them off there rose leaves and squish... Our curled rose slug here are mostly found on top of the leaf... But usually other types are found UNDERNEATH the leaf... Here's what our more mature rose slugs look like: The wasp eats them so he is a good guy in my book....lol
