Last year I purchased two rose bushes. I liked the blooms but did not know
much about the plants. Later, when I looked them up a search engine, I
learned that I had chosen two plants very prone to disease. First, I put them
on the patio, but they murdered every ball we had…from the princess ball all the
way to a volley ball, which I thought could not be punctured, but I sadly pulled a
thorn from it one day after realizing it was going flat. I decided to learn as
much about everything I planted. So, the local nursery held a class on roses. I
have included photos I took of these beautiful flowers and link to tell about everything you need to know about going roses. http://www.rose.org/growing-roses/

This is a product recommended by the local nursery and teacher of the class on growing roses. It can can be used as a fertilizer, for insect control and disease control. I like the idea of having fewer products to keep around the house.
