How well does this spray "up"? I need a small sprayer that will get fungicides onto the undersides of two or three outdoor roses.

This sprays upwards very well. As long as it is cleaned after each use so it doesn't clog, and it's fully pumped up for pressure, it sprays as well upwards as it does downwards. I really like this sprayer.

it works great, the nozzle can be moved up or down. It also has a shield so you don't have to worry about it dripping on your hand.

Garden Safe Fungicide3 may be used on all roses, flowers, housplants, ornamental trees and shrubs, fruits and vegetables grown in and around the home and garden. I have used on my tomato plants and beans prior to the tomatoes and beans forming. It took care of insects and leaf spots so that I didn't need to use it once blossoms started.

This stuff works great and the plants love it, but it does small bad. I only use it outside, so the smell only last a few hours.....I hope that you are diluting it...

This unit is okay for light spraying. If you have large bushes, or a lot of them, you would be happier with a larger sprayer, like the ones that have a strap that goes over a shoulder and has at least a gallon capacity.

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.

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 think it depends if you spray early enough. I have used it for years and never had issues, until this year. The flower beds in my new home were infested with just about every kind of bug you can imagine. The Ortho worked on everything except the Japanese beetles, the difference this year is having sprayed in the summer instead of spring. I ended up using Garden Tech's Sevin 5% dust and had great results. I was so fed up as the beetles were annihilating this gorgeous rose bush and I wasn't getting to enjoy it. I doused the bush with the dust, the directions say to use a thin layer. I probably could have gotten away with a thin layer but I was so fed up with those pests. Some of them immediately started to try and fly away others immediately fell off. Within a week the bush looked so much better! There is still damage from the beetles but there has been zero damage to the roses that have bloomed since. I definitely recommend the dust if the beetles are already an out of control issue.

I have tried many products on creeping charlie and this one does work well. i use it at the highest recommended concentration in a tank sprayer.

Have you tried the spikes in potted roses? I had the same question. Thanks.

Paul, The Chapin's efficient spray nozzle ( this is the nozzle that uses the least amount of spray) reaches beyond the top of my semi-dwarf Fugi Apple Tree. The height is beyond 10 feet. This a great spray unit. I've sprayed lime sulfur, liquid copper and other oil based fungicides without any problems. Just remember, as with all spray units, thoroughly washout the unit and run or purge and spray fresh clean water through the spray nozzle prior to storage. I highly recommend this unit. The price an quality are right on the mark! Ron

Hello,I pour some into a 3 - 5 gallon sprayer that would normally be used to spray your garden.It is the pump top style. Works Great!

I have mine on the back of my John Deere Gator and with it sitting in the bed it sprays out about 8' to 10 ', I have not tried to raise for a wider spray. I really like the ease of use it provides

We bought a cheap pressure sprayer specifically for this stuff and mix per the directions. We just spot spray the offending sedge weeds twice a few days apart and the stuff kills it very nicely.

I don't think that method will work very well since the product is kinda like super fine sawdust with nematodes living on the surfaces. It would be very hard to disperse without getting it mixed in a bunch of water. I used a pump up sprayer and removed the spray tip, but a watering can would work too. If you use a pump up sprayer, do not pressure it up to much or you might kill the little guys. This product was very effective.

You have to pump it quite often because it's only a one gallon sprayer, but I bought 3 of them and they spray about 16 feet in the air. I have reached the arches of my house and the top of Apple trees.

Hi Linda, yes it will work safely on roses as well as other delicate plants or flowers

It works great! I use a 2 gallon sprayer with 2 oz of viper. It stinks for about 2 hrs. So go to a movie or mow the lawn.
