Amendments
Here at the nursery we never plant a rose without dosing it with vitamin B1. B1 prevents transplant shock and allows the plant to get off to a great start. Try it on your tomatoes as well and watch them take off and grow without the week they have taken in the past to get past the shock. Our FL Root Stimulator contains vitamin B1 as well as a small load of nutrients to get your roses (and tomatoes) off to a great start. | Black Spot Remedy
Roses inc Black spot remedy is a mix of three products that we use here at the nursery. They are not the "latest and greatest" to hit the market but used as instructed with our enclosed instructions they work!
Attention: For as long as they last we will include a pair of our high quality reusable coveralls FREE with the purchase of fungicides or insecticides totaling $40.00 or more. Please give us your size in the remarks section of the order form. | Dormant Sprays
Dormant sprays should be used during the cool season when the outside temps stay below 70 degrees. One application during the coldest part of the winter and another right after pruning will go a long way in making next years disease and insects easier to manage. If disease is present I suggest you use Lime Sulpher spray in lue of the regular dormant oil. Don't forget that your fruit trees and grapes will appreciate the same application as your roses. |

Herbicides
Is your turf grass invading your flower/rose beds. Over the Top selective herbicide is the answer to your problems. It will not harm your roses even if you spray it right on them but the grass will die from the roots up. I had a Fairy rose on a storm shelter that the Bermuda would grow into before it was large enough to shade it out. I used Over the Top to spray the entire area, rose bush and all and the grass was eliminated with no damage to the rose. This product is sure a time saver and beats the heck out of climbing around on your hands and knees pulling grass only to have it come back in a few weeks. | Insecticides
Attention: For as long as they last we will include a pair of our high quality reusable coveralls FREE with the purchase of fungicides or insecticides totaling $40.00 or more. Please give us your size in the remarks section of the order form. | Meters
As inexpensive as our meters are it makes no sense that you do not have one for your garden. I recomend our all in one meter. The truth is that the light meter is not very usefull unless you are checking out your favorite window seal but the ph tester is quick and easy to use and the moisture meter takes the guess work out of watering pots. Remember that if your ph is wrong no amount of fertilizer will make your roses grow and be healthy. |

Microscopes
Disease and insects are so much easier to contol when you catch the problem in the early stages. I use the handy little microscope we sell to scout my rose garden for early signs of pest. Just carry it with you when you go to the garden and pull a leaf now and then throughout the garden and look at it through the 30 power lense. The built in light makes it usable where ever you are and it is fun to identify problems and take action before the damage is bad enough that anyone can see it. | Miticides
Miticides will be much more effective used prior to the investation reaching high levels. That is where a good hand held microscope comes in real handy. Do not use the same miticide all season. You should alternate the miticide with each use being sure that you a varying the miticides in regard to their mode of action. | Rodenticides
You must first identify the pest you are dealing with. Moles are not rodents and they actually do no direct damage to your roses. Voles and gophers are rodents and they eat the roots of your roses and can kill a healthy plant over a very short period of time and you will not know the plant is being attack until it is too late to save it. Are you unsure what you have? Give me a call and I will help you identify your pest so you can take the proper action. |

Sharpeners
Our sharpens are intended for use on knives. They are not for use on your pruners. They make the blade much to smooth and sharp for the prunes to do a good job. A fine file is a much better choice for sharpening you pruners. | Sprayers
| Surfactant
Surfactants are a very important product which are neglected by most home gardeners. Surfactants break surface tension and makes your spray spread out over the leaves of the roses and in most cases they contain a sticker which once dried will hold the spray on the leaves for an extended period of time giving the active ingredient in the spray time to work. Todays dish soaps are made to rinse off easily unlike their predecessors of years gone by. |

Thermometers
If you raise roses in pots a ground thermometer is a very essential toll to have. Pots can get very hot and the soil temperature should be monitored to assure it stays below 90 degrees. Some of the most widely used fertilizer will not work until the soil temperature reaches 70 degrees. Don't waste your time and money applying it too soon. | Ties
| Tools, Pruners, etc
Don't be fooled into believing that more expensive is always better when it comes to pruners. Unless you prune for days on end like I do it is not necessary to pay a lot of money for your pruners. Our forged pruners are very resonably priced and will serve your needs for years to come with a file touch up a couple times a season. |
