Empathy After Plant Rose Food 1kg

What It Does

• Specially formulated for roses — provides nutrients tailored to their growth and flowering needs. 

• Includes Rootgrow™ mycorrhizal fungi and beneficial soil bacteria which assist the plant in absorbing nutrients and water more efficiently, especially helpful in poor or heavy soils. 

• Improves soil biology and structure, encouraging a richer soil ecosystem under the rose which supports long-term health and flowering potential. 

• Enables stronger roots, better uptake of nutrients and water, plus more vigorous foliage and more prolific blooms across the season. 

How to Use

• When to apply:

  • Apply in early spring, at the first signs of new growth. 

  • Follow with a second feed after the first flush of flowers in summer, as recommended. 

• Rate & application:

  • Use approximately 25-50 g (1–2 handfuls) per rose bush. Sprinkle evenly around the base of the plant, work gently into the top soil, then water well. 

  • Each 1 kg pack covers up to around 40 roses (depending on size and spacing). 

• For new plantings:

  • Note this product is intended for roses already planted or established; for initial planting it recommends using a Rootgrow product at the time of planting to ensure direct root-fungi contact. 

• Top tips:

  • Always water after applying to help activate the feed and move it into the root zone.

  • Use on moist soil rather than very dry or saturated ground for best effectiveness.

  • Re-apply in summer if growth slows or flowering decreases.

When & Where to Use

• Ideal for:

  • Established roses in beds, borders, containers or roses recently planted and now needing feeding and soil-boost.

• Not a substitute for planting-time treatments:

  • For bare-root or newly planted roses, this feed is an excellent follow-up but the root-growth product at planting time is still recommended. 

• Seasonal window:

  • From early spring to mid-summer is the prime time for use; continue feeding through summer for repeat blooms.

• Soil type suitability:

  • Works well on a wide range of soils — particularly beneficial where soil fertility is low or structure is poor due to its microbial and fungal elements.
