Beautiful roses don’t just happen — they’re fed consistently and correctly.
Pete’s Rose Food is specially formulated to support strong canes, deep green foliage, and abundant blooms on all types of roses. With a balanced 12-10-8 formula plus added calcium, sulfur, and micronutrients, this granular fertilizer promotes steady growth without forcing weak, excessive top growth.
It’s ideal for landscape roses and container-grown plants alike.
