Empathy After Plant Rose Food is designed for dedicated rose enthusiasts looking to boost root health and achieve more vibrant, frequent flowering in their garden. By incorporating beneficial mycorrhizal fungi and active soil bacteria, this granular fertiliser significantly enhances nutrient uptake, making it an essential tool for maintaining resilient, healthy rose bushes throughout the spring and summer; however, users should be aware that it requires consistent moisture in the soil to effectively activate the microbial components for optimal results.

While specifically formulated for roses, the beneficial fungi and bacteria are generally safe and beneficial for many other perennial flowering plants.
Start in early spring and re-apply at intervals throughout the summer, typically every 6-8 weeks to ensure continuous nutrition.
No, the ingredients are natural and soil-friendly, and they actively work to improve the environment for beneficial garden insects and worms.
The product focuses on biological soil health and natural nutrition, aligning with sustainable gardening practices.
For best results, lightly rake or hoe the granules into the top layer of the soil rather than leaving them exposed on the surface.
The product will not become active until it is exposed to moisture. You should water it as soon as possible after application to start the benefits.
This is often the mycorrhizal fungi activating; gently work it into the top inch of the soil to incorporate it properly.
Ensure the product is applied within the root zone and that the soil remains moist. Extremely dry soil prevents the biological additives from functioning.
To apply the fertiliser, measure the recommended amount based on the size of your rose bush and scatter the granules evenly around the base of the plant, staying within the drip line of the foliage. Always gently rake the granules into the top surface of the soil to ensure they make contact with the root zone.
Compatibility: This product is safe for use on all types of roses, including shrub, climbing, and hybrid tea varieties. It is also compatible with most organic mulch types.
Care Instructions: After application, it is crucial to water the area thoroughly. The microbes in the fertiliser require moisture to colonize the root zone. Avoid applying during periods of severe drought unless you can guarantee regular irrigation. Store the packaging in a cool, dry place to maintain the viability of the beneficial fungi.
