How Much to Use:
New Plantings:
-
Dig a hole at least 18 inches in diameter and 18 inches deep. Remove half of the soil and replace it with compost, peat moss, or Espoma Organic Garden Soil.
-
Mix 3 cups of Rose-tone into the amended soil.
Established Plants:
-
Individual Plants: Apply 1-1/4 cups around each plant and scratch into the top inch of soil.
-
Rose Beds: Spread 6 lbs. per 100 square feet of bed area and scratch into the top inch of soil.
-
Potted Plants:
-
For soil preparation before planting, mix 2 cups of Rose-tone into each cubic foot of potting mix.
-
Feed established plants 1 teaspoon for each 3 inches of pot diameter. Repeat monthly.
-
How to Apply:
New Plantings:
-
Bare Root Plants:
-
Dig a hole about 12 inches across and 18 inches deep.
-
Add peat moss and 3 cups of Rose-tone to the soil removed and mix thoroughly.
-
Use this mixture to partially refill the hole, making a cone of soil to place the plant on.
-
Spread roots evenly; the planting depth should place the graft knuckle just below ground level.
-
Add 4–5 inches of soil and firm around the roots. Fill the hole to within 2–3 inches of the top, fill with water, and let it soak in. Finish filling the hole.
-
-
Container Plants:
-
Some pre-packaged roses may be planted in their original container. Follow instructions on the container to determine if the plant should be removed or planted with the container.
-
Follow directions for “Bare Root Plants” for general planting procedures and hole size. Instead of making a cone for the roots, fill the hole with enough soil so that when the container is placed in it, the soil level is the same as the surrounding area. Place the plant in the hole and refill as outlined above.
