Nelson' Grow-N-Thrive
Liquid Fertilizer
for Rose Bushes

Use Nelson's Grow-N-Thrive liquid plant food on rose bushes for more foliage and blooms throughout the growing season.

Planting - After you have planted a new rose bush or transplanted an old one, be sure to water the root ball generously with a mixture of 1 tbsp./gal. of water.  Repeat this every two weeks for four weeks to reduce transplant shock and to boost new root growth.  After the fourth week, you can increase the mixture to 2 tbsp./gal. of water.

Spring Boost - In the spring when new shoots are starting to appear, begin applying a solution of 2 tbsp./gal. of water to the base of established plants.  Continue every two weeks for more foliage and blooms.

Summer Second Growth - When the spring blooms have come and gone, prune the old blooms back to a five leaf branch to initiate new stem growth for new blooms.  Continue to fertilize every two weeks so that the plant will have additional energy for another cycle of blooms.  Continue this procedure into the fall for more blooming cycles.

Black Spot - If heat and humidity are causing black spot fungus to appear on the rose bush leaves, begin spraying once per week with a fungicide.  You can mix the fungicide with Grow-N-Thrive and apply them together from a hose end sprayer or a pump-up sprayer.  This procedure should minimize black spot and help your rose bushes continue to bloom throughout the summer.

"We had a terribly hot and dry summer in Houston.
I used Grow-N-Thrive every two weeks on my
rose garden, and it never looked better.  All my
friends commented on it."
(from a gardener in Houston, TX)

"With Grow-N-Thrive,
you can see the difference."
