Can they be used for ground cover roses, how many spikes for each bush

They can be used for all rose types. Push one or two spikes (depending on bush size) into the ground fairly close to the base of the rose. Will feed for at least 90 days.

The instructions are based on the diameter of your plant- 2 spikes for 2ft and 10 inch from the main stem. For 3-4 feet in diameter, it's 3 spikes and 5-6 ft in diameter its 4 spikes. I have only used them on knock out roses and tea roses.

Get a mallott and pound in the spikes should be okay, trellis hooks up to the spikes you pound in the ground.

I would say they are probably OK. I have 103 rose bushes, and depending on the variety, it is usually pretty easy to avoid the bigger thorns. They will protect against smaller thorns. They run small, though, so order a larger size.

Yes. Check the sizes, the large is very large and the small is okay for a small plant. I used them on my front porch with a plant stand. Pretty

probably would be ok. the spikes are slow release and last a season according to the maker. if you use them put at edge of drip line and in fewer numbers than usual. b

I used one spike per 10-inch pot, but the water lilies didn't bloom as well as they have other years. So I'd use two or three per pot. I wish the directions were clearer. Also, they did not say to remove the tight plastic wrap on each spike, but it seems like it should come off so I removed it (wasn't easy).

Yes, I've used them several times outside, on 4 large potted topiaries. If gone for a week I used 2 per plant. 2 weeks - 4 per plant. These are large 24" + pots.

Some cactus, I still have to use tongs or on big cactus a wrap of burlap . Great for roses.

I bought them to work in the pond as they are waterproof, but I think that they are tough enough to work in the rose bushes! That's a great idea; I may try it myself.

One of the beauties of using these raised beds is easy access to your beds without walking in the soil. So, yes, you can use multiples, but leave at least a one foot path in between. Cover the path with wood chips, straw, gravel, or anything that will keep the weeds down

No need to do anything. Just fill a bottle with water screw the spikes on and stick them in the ground. I used 1L water bottles but they will work on a 2L as well. I thought they worked very well. Good luck.

I honestly don't know much about this pine other than it seems to be a popular house plant....most pines live sandy soil and need balanced fertilizer. These spikes are 16-4-4, if I remember....I don't have them in front of me...but I think you might be better with something like 20-20-20, which you should be able to get at any great garden store.

Probably would work fine. They might be a bit to large for small seedling pots, but you can break the stakes into small pieces if you'd like to use them in small pots.

Hey Mike - I don't know, no experience with Rose of Sharon ...... and I haven't experienced that the rose spikes adversely affected nearby plantings like rhodie, smoke bush, maple, geranium, gouds, cottonwood, etc. .... - I'm thinking you might google what the soil might need for Rose of Sharon then look at what Job's Rose Spikes nutrients - there are great sites, just plug in Jobe's Rose Spikes and see what you find.

They just come in small black greenhouse production pots. Not too attractive. You could replant them into nicer 2" to 3" planters, but it would probably be easier to make a decorative wrap with foil or paper using the existing planter, and tie with some nice ribbon. A nice wide decorative ribbon might work all by itself. Your florist could probably give you some good ideas.

For best results, we recommend these spikes be installed in sunny areas. If they need to be installed in a shaded area, we suggest our Sweeney'S Mole & Gopher Sonic Spikes 15000 Sq. Ft. 2 / Pack Moles

Yes,I believe it can be sprayed wherever you need it I believe it only kills sedge weed ( nut grass ) & nothing else it hasn't hurt my sod or any plants so I would assume it would be ok around your roses
