why is this not good for potted roses, I have 3 in the largest pots Walmart has, will that make a difference?

I have no idea, I use Miracle-Gro on my house plants. Follow directions and you can't go wrong.

I have used it on all my roses for years. It is excellent and gives the plants strong growth and lots of blooms. It is so easy to use I wouldn't use anything else.

I had the opposite problem, the holes were so small that I could hardly get the new plants in it. It didn't work well for strawberries or tomatoes. I would not purchase this again.

I used this on container plants and it worked fine on large planters if used sparingly. But it is too strong for smaller plants and actually 'burned' some of them so I discontinued its use. I would suggest a different product, or cut the pieces into very small portions.

I'm using it in an attempt to get my plumeria to bloom. My brother uses it quite successfully on his plumeria and says they are heavy feeders. Don't know about the desert rose though. I would think that anything that blooms would benefit?

I can't say. I have only used it on my roses. However, it has done wonders for them.

Dont know if it can be used on flower bed. You can try it in a small spot to find out. Not sure how much it wil cover. I have stored it in the 1 gal container. It didnt seem to be as effective after stored..

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

I have 1 Large Pot weighing about 8 to 10 lbs on top shelf and 1 medium plant on next shelf followed by a small plant, don't think you would be able to get 3 large, not because of weight, but purely because of size and closeness of the individual tables.

the cart is rated for 150 lb, so do not try to move a potted plant that exceed the rating, also the pot diameter should not be bigger than 18 inches at the base, hope these info can be helpful to you.

I stongly recommend doing this, particularly if you are using the larger churchill and monarch planters, which are large enough to use for edible plant gardening. You are right--this encourages unlimited downward growth of the roots, resulting in stronger root systems and greater topside growth.

high, ya I use it in promix & fill 3 gal pots up with HEALTHY roots. This rocks.but check out maxi crop,azomite,humic&fulvic; acid &mycrozie.; It's all about the Roots! Enjoy!

I mixed hydroton with regular potting soil for my Peace lily. I don't really notice a difference for the plant though.

From the label it looks like the rose bushes will be tolerant, I would imagine your lillies would be tolerant too. Try not to spray directly on the plant. I often use cardboard to shield my plants from any spray. I've used this to kill grasses around my vinca, and saw no problems. You can always give Ortho a call and ask about your lillies. 800-225-2883. You should also search for "Grass b gon label" and read the full label - it is readily available, and gives a lot of information on plants and safety.

I suggest doing a ph test of the soil before anything, maybe this product at 5 week intervals instead of 6, and perhaps some good fish liquid fertilizer too. Roses are heavy feeders so make sure that when you plant, you amend the soil with good compost and well aged manure. Getting them planted and off to a good start with amended soil at the very beginning is key. Different types of soils, different zone s, different weather conditions, lots of things to consider, but the best soil at the very start, amended, makes the best roses.

I bought it to control bugs on my roses, marigolds, tomato plants, etc. In my case, it did not help with bugs or black spot as others have stated. Locale and types of flowers may have been an issue, but if I had it to do over I would not purchase it again.

I am sure it would work for climbing roses. It is made of nylon so I am not sure how long it would last in the sun.
