Roses are not specifically listed as plants that have been tested as tolerant of Snapshot 2.5 TG. However, this pre-emergent is designed for use around established landscape ornamentals, so if the plants are well-established and healthy, Snapshot should not damage them. If you have a large area of rosebushes and are not sure of their health, then you may want to use the product around a small number of plants first to test tolerance. Be sure to follow the label rates and application instructions on the product label.
We understand that it is tricky to know what setting to use on your spreader, but since there are so many available on the market, it is important to calibrate your own equipment based on your application and the product you are using. For Snapshot 2.5 TG, you will use 2.3 to 4.6 pounds of granules per 1,000 square feet. Please refer to the product label for the best rates for the area you are treating and the weeds you are targeting. Please see below for more details on how to calibrate your spreaders. Many folks will start at either the lowest setting or at 1 setting lower than the middle setting. We also have an excellent instructional video here.
Almost all fertilizers, herbicides, insecticides, etc have treatments in amounts of so much product per 1000 square feet. So if you can figure out what your walking speed is then you know anytime you apply any product that calls for so much of it per 1000 square feet, you always set your spreader on this setting. You can calibrate this by marking off a 1000 square foot (10 x 100) area and placing 4 ounces of any type of product of similar granule size, or of the Snapshot in the spreader. Start with a low setting and start walking your marked off area at a normal pace. You can adjust as you go and find the basic setting for you to apply the product over a 1000 square feet.
We would recommend to wait several weeks to move the day lily after Snapshot application. Please be cautious because the flowers will be stressed from transplanting.
Snapshot 2.5 TG is one of our most popular pre-emergent herbicides for use around ornamentals and ground covers, and several types of liriope are listed as tolerant on the product label.

A popular post-emergent for use around liriope is Fusilade II Herbicide, which will target grassy weeds. Always read the product label before purchasing and applying herbicides to ensure that it will fit your needs.

Snapshot is a post-emergent herbicide only, so it is not made to kill any existing plants. Geranium cinereum (ballerina) is listed as intolerant of over-the-top Snapshot applications, while the common weed Carolina geranium is prevented from germinating by using Snapshot. Geranium incarnum and Geranium subcaulescens are listed as tolerant plants of Snapshot. Since the exact species you mention is not listed as either tolerant or intolerant, we would recommend testing over a small area before treating around a large area of this groundcover, or selecting a different product for your needs.
