Down To Earth All Natural Fertilizers Organic Rose & Flower Mix 4-8-4, 5 lb

I purchased Down to Earth rose and flower mix fertilizer 4-8-4 when a friend suggested it. Wow! It made a huge difference....I am new to gardening...my roses were doing nothing. I gave them a little of this with Down to Earth All Natural Alfalfa and was so pleasantly surprised to see buds the next day. Within 2 days I had beautiful pink roses!

The media could not be loaded. Used this during April and photos are end of May and June in zone 7. Tons of blooms and our roses are David Austin second year bare roots. Will use it again to fertilize in July for second wave of blooms.I used rose tone last year and it did not produce as many blooms as this. Maybe it’s also because it was first year.Make sure you bury it with a layer of soil, fertilizer does attract little critters.

Good stuff

Excellent rose food! Delivered as ordered

this stuff really works well

Great product , plants are happy

I generally find Down to Earth to be one of the best brands for organic fertilizer. It's really good from an up-cycling perspective (because it's from waste from the meat industry) and the fertilizer usually is medium-speed absorption which I prefer over other types. The organic materials have to be broken down over time, so they provide nutrients over a few months, instead of just a couple days like a liquid fertilizer, but it tends to work faster than most slow release coated fertilizers like ozmocote. You can really see it kick in after a week or two, which is my favorite experience, suddenly the plant just looks twice as vigorous and starts budding everywhere. I prefer this medium speed because you can truly observe the nutrient absorption from the plant, vs. the guessing game of a slow release (is the plant getting enough, too much, etc.) You also can reapply throughout the season without too much risk of overdoing it, which isn't the case for a slow release, which might still be active in the soil, and you get that same thrill of seeing it absorbed late in the season. I love this stuff

Wonderful
