20% Phosphorus for Maximum Blooms

Double the phosphorus of a balanced fertilizer. P drives flower bud formation, petal count, and continuous rebloom in hybrid teas, floribundas, and all repeat-blooming roses.

🎨

Intense Petal Color

Phosphorus fuels the pigment pathways that create deep reds, vibrant pinks, rich yellows, and saturated purples. More P = more vivid, show-quality blooms.

💪

15% Potassium for Strong Canes

Potassium strengthens cell walls in canes and stems, improves winter hardiness, and enhances natural disease resistance against black spot and powdery mildew.

🌿

10% Nitrogen for Healthy Foliage

Enough nitrogen to maintain dark green, glossy foliage without pushing excessive vegetative growth that delays flowering or attracts pests.

📦

6–22 Bushes Per Bag

At ½ cup for miniatures to 2 cups for large shrub roses, one 5 lb bag feeds 6–22 plants per application. Reapply every 4–6 weeks.

📅

Season-Long Feeding Program
