For best results:
As a guide, 40-50g is about a handful.
Before planting: Sprinkle 135g per sq m over planting area. Fork well in.
For established roses: Sprinkle 135g per sq m evenly over soil. Lightly fork or hoe in. This is best done in mid-March or at the first sign of leaf growth. Apply 70g per sq m in the same way at monthly intervals through the summer.
Care of container grown roses: Sprinkle 20g around the rose (about a level tablespoon), once in the Spring and once in the Autumn. Lightly fork in around base of plant.
Planting patio containers: Mix 28g with 2-3 handfuls of compost or soil. Fill bottom third of pot with mixture, position the rose and top up with compost or soil.
Water in well after applying. Apply evenly between the plants. Avoid touching plants. Avoid using on windy days.
