The directions say not to use on Ornamental Beds. I have nutsedge growing near my rose bushes. Will they be harmed by this stuff?

probably yes. if there is not to much of it just pull it out by hand. I only put it on the grass.

Any weed killer will leach several inches further that you spray it so stay far away from those roses

Sorry, don't know answer to your question. I do know that after two treatments by my lawn service without getting rid of nutsege this killed the weed. This leads me to believes me that it is a strong weed killer. I would not use near your flowers without exert advice.

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.

Go to Home Depot and pick up some volck oil and marathon to use on your small plants. Demon Max will likely be harmful to any living thing you apply it to.

I think your lilies and roses will be OK. The label lists all plants that should be avoided; I highly recommend that you read the label. This worked well for me that lawn grass that had spread into vinca minor groundcover.

If applied at the rate indicated on the back of the package, this product would be safe for ornamental shrubs. However, I would not recommend that you use it for most shrubs. The product is high in nitrogen which will produce increased vegetative growth, to the detriment of flower production. I do use it however on my bamboo. Bamboo is similar to a grass and therefore I want high nitrogen.

I do not know about dogwood trees. I have used this spike on my Hickory tree, Ash tree, Maple tree and Spruce tree. They have all done well. Grew larger with many leaves. I am not a 'gardener' but person who uses fertilizer on my lawn, shrubs, flowers and trees. Dogwood is a deciduous tree and I would think that these spikes would not harm it -- as I have used it with my deciduous trees.

My wife has flower and shrub gardens all over the yard. They had moss in them just like the lawn did. I sprayed it all and nothing was harmed except the moss. I found out that it will stain white stones though. Good luck.

I use it at the base of my raised beds. The garden is fenced so my animals cannot get to it. I would not use it next to my actual plants because I think the ants carry it down into my soil. Hope this helps some.

I don't see any problem, unless rose stems are too stiff to train around legs. I use them for mandevilla vines ... cold probably do the same for clematis.

The packing says it can be used on ornamentals so I think roses are okay. However I would avoid spraying the plant and go after the soil instead. It killed all the blooms on my weigela last time I did it. The plant is recovering nicely though.

Farley, this product is pretty much "cut & kill". It works by totally killing a stump after you cut the bush/tree...I used it with great success with Rose of Sharon. It's not a spray...you brush it on the stump. If you cut the vines and brush this on their stumps, they won't grow back. It shouldn't harm the junipers. Look at it this way...it suffocates the stump of the plant that you want to eliminate. There's not a peripheral side effect.

I have used this product on grass with no negative effects. I've even used it on blooming tea roses that were full ofreally aggravating ants! Worked perfectly ... no harm to the roses. Hope this helps.

I used just drop of Tordon on a freshly cut two-year old dogwood seedling where the roots were totally entangled with an established Azalea. there was no way in this case to remove the tree stem/roots from the azalea. The dogwood never came back, and the azalea died within a month. I love this product for invasives, but be careful.

I was told by a gardener that it will kill trees and other vegetation. So, when I spread Noxall, I avoided my trees, rose bushes and other plants. It killed all the weeds and vegetation and I am free of some of the worst weeds in our Nevada area.

The product is safe for use around roses. Since lilies are not listed on the product label, we recommend testing it in a small spot and waiting a few days to make sure no damage occurs before treating a larger area.

To my knowledge it will not stop the growth of bulb plants and will only kill broadleaf dandelions or small plants considered weeds, as I use this to keep weeds from growing in my garden and areas where I don't want plants to grow, but I see that it won't stop grass so you might have to manually pull them. This is a great product around flower beds if not applied too often as it is cumulative.

Only if you are real careful... this stuff kills everything -- broad leaf, grasses, weeds and of course vegetables -- if you get it on a leaf it goes right to the root ... kills the entire plant.. I have used it in open areas around bushes and scrubs but never very close as it will kill the roots also ... me I would not us in a garden...

I had the same question and actually called Bayer. They couldn't answer either. I have a potted gardenia that I started from a cutting; it attracts scale like crazy especially over the winter. I ended up diluting the Bayer's by 50% and trying that. It didn't do any damage at least right away that I could see. Loved what it did on my garden plants - great on my roses and phlox here in the Mid-Atlantic region after a mild winter (when every disease and pest comes back with a vengeance.) Reordered it right away when it went on sale at the end of the season.
