Espoma Organic Rose-Tone 4-3-2 Organic Fertilizer for All Types of Roses and Other Flowering Plants. Promotes Vigorous Green Growth and Abundant Blooms. 4 lb. Bag

This past Spring I used the last of an older bag of this stuff on an older, established rose of Lancaster. The result was WONDERFUL! This rose is very tenacious and durable but is susceptible to blackspot. It loses its leaves to blackspot, but comes back every year. This year the rebound was amazing! I wish I had a picture for you. The clematis planted with it was very happy as well.

Like: 1. Fast releasing. 2. More blooms. 3. Healthier plants. Plants that were dying are now blooming like anything because of this plant food. Dislike: 1. Smell!! It stinks really really bad for a couple of days. But since my plants love it, so I put up with it. 2. And second issue is I see new house flies around the pots everytime I add it to the pots. And I live in an apartment on a high floor so it's not normal to see bugs. They last for a week or so and then die off/go away. But it's a nuisance. I wish the maker did something about the smell without affecting the potency of the plant food.

Price was somewhat high but I wanted to try to perk up two of my rose bushes. Looks as if they have responded well and new growth has sprouted.

Good stuff

Recommended use is monthly but for that cost, it would be too exorbitant for average person. I’ve tried to limit it to twice annually but for good bloom, that was inadequate. Scent is very strong and bothers one neighbor. I just liked the depth of color of one bloom and assumed following blooms seemed faded because I used other products but can’t afford this as I really need 8 lbs. to cover the entire bed.

I use this on far more than just roses. Everything that has received it this year has absolutely adored this fertilizer, and I believe it's safe(r) around pets and wildlife, which is nice since there are pets in the neighborhood that wander unsupervised without leashes frequently. Since using this fertilizer over the last few months many of my plants have doubled in size and everything is thriving far more than on chemical fertilizers. I apply sparingly once a month and drench it in. I may have to modify the schedule in summer. Not sure yet.

I love espoma products thanks Laura from Garden Answer on YouTube I been watching her since she had on a few thousand subscribers 🥰 By the way The smell doesn't bother me. What does bother me is the flies that come afterwards so a way that got rid of the fies is just make sure you place the Compost or mulch over it 😁 Update: I have used this on one of my rose bushes recently. It was only producing tiny roses I mixed in some of this fertilizer and it brought it back to life bigger bulbs and a leafier bush it looks gorgeous 😍

My rose bush is always love to be fed with a good rose fertilizer. This one being organic is a huge plus

Awesome product

They are now sprouting ne shots and producing more roses. I even had people come by to say they look beautiful

Love this for my roses

Best plant food made!
