Depends on the soil it could be enough get the P H right a little Rose Tone couldn't hurt

It all depends on your soil. This will add fertilization to your soil but, if the soil is poor you may want to add extra separately.

Sandy soil can be a vexing problem, but peatmoss and the compost with manure could be the best way to get it back to the way a rose garden need s. Lotsa organic stuff! Should be fine!

I add a ripe banana & crushed egg shells to amend the soil ~ just push a shovel deep into the soil drip line of the rose bush, drop the banana & egg shells in and tamp the soil back down. They also get liquid Miracle Grow when I feed the rest of my plants & shrubs.

I suggest doing a ph test of the soil before anything, maybe this product at 5 week intervals instead of 6, and perhaps some good fish liquid fertilizer too. Roses are heavy feeders so make sure that when you plant, you amend the soil with good compost and well aged manure. Getting them planted and off to a good start with amended soil at the very beginning is key. Different types of soils, different zone s, different weather conditions, lots of things to consider, but the best soil at the very start, amended, makes the best roses.

I use the fox farms soil so I don't use the fertilizer until the 4th week. Some people do use them rite away but I have been very successful doing it my way. I get much larger production then anyone says you should get. I do supplement the fox farms with shooting powder in last 4 weeks of flower

This listing is for the newer granule formula of the rose and flower care by Bayer Advanced. They should be sprinkled around the plant and watered in to release into the soil.

You can use this soil for desert rose plants. They prefer good drainage so you might want to mix in a little more sand into the soil to make the mix coarser so that it will drain faster.

I never premix any fertilizer.... I mix what I need and use. Hope that helps you.

This product has done a great job on the roses in the garden. They appear healthy and are blooming nicely.

You should pull up the label online...all the info you need should be on it. Fruit trees and roses are listed on the label which is what I am using it for; however, I haven't read it recently so I can't speak to use on vegetables.

I have used this product around all kinds of ground cover and ornamental plants with good results. . . . Not harming any thing but the unwanted grass. However, I have not used it on roses specifically. I wouldn't hesitate to to do so tho. Another equally good product is Ortho Weed-Be-Gone.

I researched on line... I added it to my garden beds in the spring before I transplanted my veggies... what a difference it makes! I also added organic fertilizer... but my plants and veggies are huge and taste awesome... I will add every spring! check out on you tube john kohler growing your green.com also he is the expert of experts! I did not mix this in water... added to the soil dry...

You shouldnt need any additional fertilizer for a long time but depending on your tank size I would suggest a co2 maker. The cheaper co2 makers are just as good as the expensive ones, just depends on how much maintenance you want to do. I hope this is helpful.

I'm not an expert but if you carefully apply it and the nutsedge isn't right next to (in the same bed) with the roses it's probably be ok, Our nutsedge was growing in various spots in the lawn near flower beds and no harm cam to them. We applied it very carefully and did some test spots first near plants that were not a precious as roses.

You will need other fertilizer as well. This is just micro-nutrients. I use it instead of the kelp meal/azomite in this formula: http://www.motherearthnews.com/organic-gardening/complete-organic-fertilizer-zebz1309znsp.aspx?PageId=2#ArticleContent

I would just buy the ocean Forrest soil. As far as the liquid nutrients by fox farm the 3 are to be used throughout the whole season. The grow big bloom is for early seedling stage the grow big is for veggitating stage and when peppers start blooming switch to tiger bloom. My advice....only use 1/2 the reccomended dosage.

In some states organic compost material gets mixed up with chemical-based fertilizers. It is a shame. Check with the state Dept. of Conservation.

I use only bloom plus and my plants bloom more they ever bloomed without bloom plus. My indoor geraniums are now outside for the summer and each plant has about 20 huge blooms. They were blooming when I put them outside and then took a rest and are now blooming. Some of my geraniums are about 10 years old. I would not use any other fertilizer. It could harm the plants.

You do not absolutely NEED anything else but a liquid fertilizer is helpful. You can pick up a basic weekly use fertilizer (I use flourish by Seachem) or look into EI dosing (more work, better results). Depending on your plants you may want to look into root tabs (small fertilizer tablet in the substrate under the plant), CO2, and better lighting systems.Research into your plants will determine if you need to upgrade lighting and use CO2.All told, I do well with eco-complete and the weekly dose of Flourish. I do just as well in my sand substrate though. I prefer eco-complete for size and color. I have not found anything comparable in those factors near the price of eco-complete.
