What a pity I can't use it on my plants as I have an organic garden. It certainly does exactly what it says on the adverts though judjing by your roses.

Nice pics! I use a fish fertilizer that comes in a jug for most of mine, and the occasional box of 'food' for the bulbs, roses, etc... Coffee grounds are nice for the roses too, according to a friend of mine but I'm not a coffee drinker and I keep forgetting to snatch it from the coffee pots at the school - I may manage to try it yet.
Love your little roses.

I also use mircle-gro!It's great I apply the pre mixed bottles that you hook up to your waterhose and it mixes just the right amount as you water. I do this every 2 weeks during the growing season!They just came out with this type this year and I don't know how I've done without it!!

I saw that at Lowes. But they want soooo much for it! Im still thinking about it! HAHA! I like the grains because I can use my finger and make a hole at the base of the plant and use as much of it as I want. I usually use about a quarter size amount sometimes more or less depending on the size of the plant.
