All-In-One Rose and Flower Care Fertilizer, Granules, 4 lb, Rose Fertilizer and Disease Control

I love this product. It keeps my roses looking beautiful all summer long. I used to have problems with bugs and the leaves would get eaten, and they didn’t grow as well, but this keeps the bugs away and the leaves stay nice and green and I get beautiful blooms all summer long. It has a little bit of a smell, but it’s not noticeable because it’s outside. It’s very easy to put on.

I constantly amend my soil with compost, manure, fungal spores, charcoal etc. and spray my plants with natural pesticides and fungicides. For most of my plants, the natural approach works well. But ROSES? No. They either don’t bloom, or develop powdery mildew or black spot or rust, or are attacked by beetles or aphids. I get one problem under control, only to see something else attack them. It just never stops. I don’t know how anyone grows roses “naturally.” So, after lots of trials of other products, I found this. Okay, the butterflies and bees steer clear (but I have other plants they like!). So, on some level it’s prolly *not the best* . However, with consistent application every 5.5 weeks? No beetles, no aphids, no fungus and beautiful blooms from happy, healthy rose bushes all summer long. And yes, I use it on hybrids, floribunda and climbers. Works well on all. So, i *only* use it on roses & nowhere that I have run-off. Do I feel guilty because it prolly has lots of bad chemicals? I do. But other than giving up on roses entirely, this is the only thing that has ever worked. Highly recommend if you use responsibly.

This product works great. My roses stay healthy and productive. The price on amazon is great.

Our rose bushes thrive when using this product. Lots of roses. Rose bushes have never been this healthy. This is an exceptional product.

Good product

This product is incredibly easy and so effective to use. This year, I planted tropical milkweed. After a couple months of beautiful growth, much to my dismay, aphids decided to invade the plant. The plant started dropping leaves and all the remaining leaves were turning yellow. It looked like the Charlie Brown Christmas Tree of plants. I honestly thought I would need to remove the milkweed, as it seemed covered with bugs and (eggs?)... disclaimer, I do not have a green thumb, am new to ornamentals- and was at a loss as to what to do here. I read this product treated aphids, and while milkweed was not listed, was drawn to the idea of placing granules on the ground and letting the product do the job. I was nervous about liquid insecticides and such, having never used products like that before and liked the idea of a fertilizer with this product. I treated this milkweed similar to a shrub and used half a capful and watered it in thoroughly. I didn’t bother burying it like it suggested; just sprinkled it around the base and watered in. In about a week, this plant looks like it has come alive and completely looks different. I see no live bugs on it and new leaves have sprouted out everywhere, and it looks so perky. It has completely saved the plant. I’m now planning on using it on some of my other shrubs/plants as I am excited by how well the fertilizer portion helped the milkweed.

We live in a California wine raising valley about 15 miles north of the bay and about 50 air miles to the ocean with a tidal river. This results in foggy nights mornings, most of the year and high humidity. Great for the wine vines and not that great for roses. There can cause a lot of mildew with roses. The budding season can start in early March and run into late November or early December. This increases the demand on the plants.with a long season. My wife has about 3 dozen roses of all types, and the conditions above made it tough to have thriving plants. Years ago we went to a Rose show with local Master Gardener to discuss the above problems. Several recommended Bayer Advanced 701110 All in One Rose and. besides the regular timing to use if we saw signs of mildew, brown or yellow leaves. So we bought some and started using it as directed. The results have been tremendous with beautiful plants, year round and wonderful roses until the first freeze. This bottle size has enough product (about one capful/plant). We keep it out on a shelf near the roses, and our yard man uses it when he or my wife thinks that it is indicated. We just had a hot July during the days with the cooler damp nights. He added the product at the end of July. We have new growth and new buds on every plant with healthy/dark green leaves/twigs. My wife and the yard guy dead head any brown or yellow leaves. That is it re care with the exception of auto drip everyday instead of every other day due to the heat. They are pruned back at the first freeze. Neighbors, local relatives and out of state friends and relatives can't believe how great our roses look. Our midwest/east coast relatives wait for my first pictures of our great roses every spring to brighten their winter days in spring.

Great product to fertilize and protect knockout roses from insects and disease. Apply every 2 months from March thru September in Metroplex area. Mine love it!
