Description

Miracle-Gro for Roses (18-24-16) is the most widely recognized and used fertilizer of its type on the market today. Through research and demonstrated performance, it has satisfied millions of gardeners for many years and bears the endorsement of the American Rose Society. It can feed through leaves and roots simultaneously and produces superior blooms, remarkably fast, from all roses. Miracle-Gro for Roses provides a balanced formula of primary nutrients combined with essential micro nutrients for vigorous, healthy plant growth as well as superior bloom color and production. How much to mix? It's easy-one tablespoon per gallon. Use the handy application table on each box to determine the amount of solution to use for individual plants or entire rose gardens. Before transplanting bare root roses, soak the roots in a half-strength solution for one hour, then pour solution into planting hole.

What the primary nutrients do: Plants need nitrogen to produce and maintain healthy leaves. Phosphorus promotes strong root growth and bloom production. Potash (potassium) insures strong plant structure and increases resistance to stress and disease.

Alternate outdoor plant feedings between soil and foliage for superior results. Apply with a watering can "over-the-top" for immediate foliar feeding and longer term root feeding at the same time. If fertilizing climbing roses or large rose gardens, try the convenient Miracle-Gro No-Clog 4 in 1 Feeder. Just fill the jar, attach feeder to the hose, turn it on, and spray! Attach a water wand for hard-to-reach plants. If planting bare root roses in the desert Southwest, or the Southeastern part of the country, do so before Valentine's Day. Plant before April 1st in colder climates. Your new plants need time to establish a viable root system before responding to rising spring temperatures. Roses benefit from regular feeding and maintenance, see Ortho's All About Roses book for complete details. Whatever you grow in your house or yard, there's a Miracle-Gro product to take care of it. In warm climates, don't apply directly to leaves in full sunlight during the hottest part of the summer. Protect your plants with a layer of mulch in summer or winter to protect from severe weather and give good, natural weed control.
