How To Apply
Rose Food Without Systemic
Established beds: Just before buds sprout in the spring, apply 2 to 3 lbs. of ferti•lome® Rose Food evenly over each 100 sq. ft. of bed (4X25). Work lightly into soil, taking care not to damage shallow root systems. Water in after application. Make a second application after the first wave of blooms has passed and a third in mid-summer. In cold to moderate climates, do not feed later than mid-summer to reduce the risk of late growth and frost damage. In warm southern climates, a fourth feeding will help promote flowers throughout the fall.
New beds: Mix 2 to 3 lbs. ferti•lome® Rose Food per 100 sq. ft. (4X25) of prepared bed. Make a second application of 2 to 3 lbs. per 100 sq. ft. after the appearance of the first flush of flowers. Water in well after feeding.
Individual bushes: Just before buds sprout, spread 8 ounces of ferti•lome® Rose Food around each established bush about 12 inches from the main stem, and water in well. Make a second application after the first wave of blooms and a third in mid-summer. Warm climates need a fourth and final application in late summer to early fall. Always water in after application.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
