Know before you buy
No, Espoma Rose-Tone is a slow-release, organic formula designed to be gentle on plants. It will not burn your roses like synthetic chemical fertilizers can.
Bio-Tone microbes are beneficial bacteria that help improve soil health and nutrient uptake. They work to support deeper root development and help your roses establish themselves more quickly in the garden.
While specifically formulated for the nutritional needs of roses with a 4-3-2 NPK ratio, it is safe to use on other flowering shrubs and perennials that thrive in similar soil conditions.
For best results, apply Rose-Tone in the early spring when new growth begins and again in late spring. A final application in the summer is recommended to support continued blooming through the season.
Yes, because it is 100% natural and organic, it does not contain the harsh synthetic chemicals found in many traditional fertilizers. However, it is always best practice to keep pets and children away from the area until the granules have been watered into the soil.
