Ferti-lome Rose & Flower Food with Systemic Insecticide

Product Information

This feeds the plant to promote strong roots and beautiful blooms, while protecting the plant against insect damage for up to 8 weeks. This is taken up by the roots and travels throughout the entire plant. New growth is protected against insects for up to 8 weeks. This works inside the plant so rain and water will not wash off the insect protection. This kills Adelgids, Aphids, Fungus gnats, Leafminers, Lace bugs, Leafhoppers, Mealybugs, Plant bugs, Psyllids, Soft Scales, Thrips (suppression), Whiteflies, and other listed insects. Apply every 8 weeks during the growing season to Roses, flowers and shrubs. 2 lbs. treats up to 16 medium sized Roses or shrubs.

Application Information: Roses, Shrubs, Flowers
