Does this work well around established rose bushes?

preen works wonderfully around any plant but only if you weed first. you can kill weeds with roundup but it doesn't prevent them from coming back. preen is really great as long as all weeds are out first. lasts about 3 months. i pick out weeds as soon as i see them so there aren't many weeds at one time. like i said they will only come back if a root from a weed is left in ground.

I returned it because of the chemical load that it contains. I think there are other less toxic options which don't pollute the environment.

Absolutely - I've used this for years and have never had a problem with any of my established plantings. It really works. I find using it twice does the best job as in early spring can find repeat eruptions of different types of seeds. Love this stuff.

I think it would work well for a climbing rose and have entertained the idea of getting another one for just that purpose. If the rose were a strong (heavy) climber, I would probably use the metal framework to tie some of the canes to, and if the rose were in a windy area I might consider using wire and a couple of stakes to make sure the wind didn't pull the plant and the frame to one side. It has staked legs and they have been sufficient for a huge clematis, but I know roses can get a bit heavier.

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

Sorry, I don't know. I only used it once on my roses. I was very UN-impressed.

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!

Hi Ja - I've planted several new roses, about 1 month ago and bought the Bayer Advanced 2 in 1 systemic.Early days still, but container states for Roses and Flowers..But contains strong fertilizer and Aphid protection for 8 weeks. Not use on veg or near Ponds and wash hands after use..pretty potent stuff, I.m assuming.Sorry I can't help more - but I was impressed by another product of Bayer and I'm thinking 'Give it a try' Maybe tell you more about performance. a few more months down the line.Regards and Good Luck ..Linda x

I have knock out roses in the area where my torepdo grass had taken over. I do not see any adverse effect to any of my roses or other plants/bushes/trees/vines. Go online and look up the directions and information for further help with fusilade II. I did not have any choice. Torpedo had to go! I have bought this more than once, and at the price, that should tell you that it is effective and that I like this product. The last spaying seems to have eradicated the torpedo. I am selling my home and the Fusilade II will stay with the house, just in case.

Test your soil first to see what it needs. In general this is a good product for protecting all roses from pests and fungus.Some areas will not allow its use due to runoff causing environmental problems.

I use it around hosta and other bushes. I used it near my impatients, but I did not appy Preen directly over the flowers or any flowers, so I don't know what to say about your concern.

I spot sprayed just the leaves around my roses and the roses are still blooming just fine. I was careful, but put a shield around roses if real close. go slow and put it more than once. I am still experimenting also. It sure is tuff stuff!!! Keeps coming back!!! I keep spraying every two weeks.

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.

Yes it would be sturdy enough for roses. I use it for a grape vine and it works great. You just have to push the legs into the ground so it stays steady.

I think these would wear out fairly quick on rose cane. Work great on other plants though.

I have it in a completely fenced backyard with bushes and flowers in it so I don't have that problem. I needed to plant in a place where there were too many roots to dig so I used this in that area and it has worked great.

This was a gift and I am thinking of one for myself. It seems to me that if the arbor can handle at least two rose bushes it should be able to hold grapes. There are two support rods that go into the ground and the arbor fits into these supports I think. I have seen the arbor installed and it seems sturdy.

I would guess so. This would only support the center, it the rose is really leggy, they will hang. I think this would would be good for a tall rose plant, but perhaps not a climbing rose bush where you generally tie up the peripheral branches to a trellis. I don't know though, it is sturdy enough for whatever you want to try, if you know how your plant will grow. It would look very elegant with a rose. Sorry for the non-committal response, lol. I hope I was somewhat helpful. :)

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.
