Know before you buy

It is designed to control common garden pests that damage roses and flowers, specifically aphids, thrips, and Japanese beetles.
No, this product is formulated specifically for roses and ornamental flowers. It should not be used on any plants intended for human or animal consumption.
The 14-12-11 ratio indicates the percentage of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in the mix. This balanced blend is designed to support strong root development, vibrant blooms, and lush, green foliage.
You should always refer to the specific application instructions on the product label for the correct frequency. Generally, systemic treatments like this are applied at the start of the growing season and reapplied as directed to maintain both nutrient levels and pest protection.
