Yes, Fusilade II Herbicide is labeled as safe to use around roses, Rosa species.
Fusilade II Herbicide is only labeled to be used on Tall Fescue, Fine Fescue, and zoysia as directed, but it is not labeled for control of dallisgrass. We recommend hand pulling or digging the dallisgrass after rainfall or spot treating it with a non-selective herbicide such as Killzall Herbicide. You can then use a pre-emergent containing Dithiopyr in late winter and spring to prevent new dallisgrass. Dimension 2EW is a great choice for pre-emergent for dallisgrass.
Fusilade II Herbicide is not labelled to control broadleaf weeds or sedges (nutgrass), as it is only labeled to kill grassy weeds. The best way to kill actively growing chickweed is by pulling as much of it out of the ground as possible by hand or treating the weeds directly around the monkey grass with a non selective glyphosate product such as Roundup.
To prevent or suppress weeds from germinating, using a pre-emergent is helpful! Hi-Yield Turf & Ornamental Weed and Grass Stopper with Dimension is labeled to "suppress" chickweed and safe for monkey grass (liriope)

Bermudagrass is extremely difficult to eliminate and will require several applications and most likely a few seasons. When using Fusilade II Herbicide to remove bermudagrass from Tall Fescue, a Fall application and Spring application is recommended. Fall applications should done in Sept/Oct when bermudagrass is preparing for doramancy and then again in early Spring (April/May) when the bermuda is transitioning out of dormancy. The rate for eliminating bermudagrass from Tall Fescue is 5-6 fl oz per acre in no less than 30 gallons of water/acre. This breaks down to to be 0.11 to 0.13 fl oz per ½ gallon of water per 1000 sq ft
Any discoloration, slow down in growth or discoloration of Tall Fescue should recover within 2 weeks after the application. Please view page 12 of the product label for more information.
Fusilade II Herbicide is labeled to control green, yellow and giant foxtail weeds and does list over the top applications safe for red and green fountain grass with the use of a non ionic surfactant. Since the product label does not mention lomandras (mat rushes) as either controlled or safe/tolerant for over the top applications, we cannot advise if this would be safe for those applicaitons.
We would recommend testing in a small area to confirm if any issue before broadcasting completely over any desirable fountain grasses or contacting the manufacturer Syngenta directly at 866-796-4368 for confrimation.
Fusilade II Herbicide is labeled to suppress/control common bermudgrass in zoysiagrass. It should NOT be applied in July or August. Apply 0.07-0.14 oz/1000 sq. ft.

Please refer to product label for full application instructions.
This will depend on the specific Turflon Ester product that you are using. Fusillade does recommend to mix with a surfactant for best results whereas many Turflon Ester products do not recommend using one. Due to this it may be a good idea to do separate applications rather than a tank mix. It is important to review the product labels of the items you choose to use for more information and complete application instructions before use.
