Awful don’t use on your roses, i have used as per instructions and it burned my roses leaves. If you using as per instructions it’s only last for two uses for 15 roses and it’s advertised that bottle will be enough as it for whole season, which is incorrect . They suggest to use every 7-14 days, seller never reply to messages
We use this all season and the roses flower in abundance. Always seems expensive but you dilute it quite considerably so I guess you get what you pay for!
It is very good for roses
Advertised as 1litre but only 500ml supplied. Very expensive for just 500ml! Returned
Best rose food on the market
My wife uses this on her roses.m
Well worth using on your roses, I water it in but it can also be sprayed on once diluted
First class product for roses
It's expensive but I find it very effective. Particularly when used as a soak of roots in early Spring before the leaves are out.
Uncle Tom’s has been the best tonic I have ever used for my roses. Would thoroughly recommend using this product.
Our roses have never looked so good!
I purchase this every year for my roses and wisteria. Well worth the money . Feed in March to try and keep on top of black spot. Any rose that looks a bit sad or poorly gets another few feeds through the season. Amazing stuff. Can also spray onto the plant for extra help
Healthy roses are able to fight black spot and invasions of pests. This tonic gives them a great boost, we have used it to great effect over the last 10 years, and recommended it to numerous friends and family.
Since I am using it for the first time, on recommendation by a friend, I hope it will do what it claims - to keep the roses pest free and enhance growth.
Having invested in a lot more roses I wanted to get them off to a good start and found this product most impressive. They remained clear of Black Spot and grew & bloomed better than expected in their first year.
Used as a foliar spray and a few days later my roses developed buds and have grown. Highly recommend.
