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
Use this on Roses, shrubs, and plantings around homes and residential areas to control listed insects. For new plants, apply when planting. For established plants, use before pest damage occurs or immediately when seen. Repeat applications every 8 weeks during the growing season.
