Are herbicides or pesticides used on the roses that are used to make this product?

Hi, This is what the website states: ((Shea Terra Organics Powerful Indigenous Ingredients. Shea Terra Organics sources the most potent, organic and wild harvested ingredients from across Africa. This pristine environment, little tainted by modern pollution, grows some of the safest, unchanged botanical ingredients on earth. Unwilling to compromise, Shea Terra Organics uses whole herbs for its potent, synergistic benefits.)) I'm assuming it doesn't since it's supposed to be organic and the descriptions on their website, but I don't know for sure. Sorry about that. Hope it helps though!

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.

I don't believe they are. I hope they don't because I don't use pesticides. The package doesn't have the ingredients listed. It does say it is an earth friendly product. Their website is seabrightlabs.com I love them and they help a lot in the garden.

No, but I do buy organic produce so I don't have the worry of pesticides in my water. Cucumbers also make a nice flavored water.

We love using Palouse Garbanzos, but I was not sure on the Pesticides issue. After contacting Palouse directly, this was their response:"Thank you for your interest in our Garbanzo Beans. We do use some pesticides on our farm, however we've been certified by the Food Alliance as a sustainable farm and are not allowed to use certain pesticides as part of the certification. If you're interested in more information regarding their certification requirements and to see the list of restricted pesticides, please go to foodalliance.org."..Hope this helps!

It's a fungicide Jon......it's NOT an insecticide. We use this on our cucumber & squash plants to prevent or control fungus. We do not spray anything on flowering plant's when bee's are active. Do your spraying after 6pm .

The manufacturer's directions state that "This insecticide may be used outdoors and in greenhouses throughout the growing season or as a preharvest treatment when other insecticides are prohibited because of residue restrictions and use limitations." I prefer not to harvest my herbs or vegetables until 24 hours after the last spraying.

Everything I used it on got burned (in pots or in ground), and I'm afraid to use it. It killed 4 roses on me. The ones that didn't die went into shock and got stunted, and now its going to take 2 years to recover from that.

I couldn't tell you about pesticides used, but in general, rice does not absorb pesticides except arsenic, which is found naturally in the soil. Rice grown in the southern united states is often grown in soil where cotton used to be grown. Heavy amounts of arsenic were used as a pesticide for cotton which remains in the soil. That is not the case for Indian rice. Anything sprayed directly on any white rice such as this rice would be 100% removed in the milling process which grinds off the outer layer of the rice kernel. Basmati rice naturally has a strong "chemical" smell, the stronger the smell, the fresher it is.

It has on my roses and the other plants I have! Make sure you use a white mask while spraying, cover your body with long pants and long sleeve shirt. Spray early in morning - usually not windy early!

I can't see why not. What a difference it does for your Roses you will see. I will continue each year to use this product.

I did buy my Thayer witch hazel toner rose from amazon and there is no such ingredient listed. I Just checked the ingredients and there are only natural/organic ingredients. A great product you can't go wrong with. I love it.

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

I don't know the answer because I have not used in this way. But you certainly can try it. Some people use aspirin in the water to extend the life of fresh flowers.

Keep the spray away from any type of ornamental flowers or Shrubs. It is made for lawn weed control only, not flower beds. You may try using preen granules around your flower beds. If you use colored mulch around those flowers and shrubs you will help control the weed population and enhance the beauty of the shrubs and flowers. Hope this helps. Steve

no chemicals, just removes the moisture from the area, you dump the water when the container is full. We use it to water the flowers.
