Rose Compost


For beautiful roses, use Debco's Rose Compost

Debco Rose Compost is specially formulated to assist in the establishment of bare-rooted roses and deciduous trees and shrubs, but it can also be used for planting out potted roses, trees and shrubs. The mixture is suitable for all types of soil. It will improve the drainage of clay soils and increase the water holding capacity of sandy soils.

Debco potting mix - success is in the bag.

Rose Compost includes:

High-quality, balanced compost base.
SaturAid rewetting granules to help water get to the root zone.
Debcote controlled-release fertiliser.
Balanced humates to hold nutrients in the soil for longer and to unlock residual nutrients - making them available to the plants.
A clay breaking catalyst to open up compacted soils.
Extra calcium and boron for root development.

When to use Debco Rose Compost

Rose Compost can be used whenever you plant your roses or deciduous trees - for either bare-rooted plants in the winter or spring, or potted plants that can be planted at any time of the year. Rose Compost can also be placed around, or dug into soil around plants in existing garden beds to improve soil.

How to use Debco Rose Compost

Mix Rose Compost with the soil in the area where you intend to plant. For a single plant it is normal to treat an area of approximately 50 cm by 50 cm to a depth of 20 cm. The contents of one bag would be sufficient for three such plants, but larger trees and shrubs will require a larger area.
After mixing, make a hole, hilling up in area of poor drainage.
Fill in with soil compost blend.
Water in well.
Save the leftover contents of the bag for later use or use as a surface mulch around the plant for added water conservation.

Hint

Don't forget to mulch garden beds and pots. Mulch helps stop weeds, saves water and improves the look of your garden!

 


"The organic matter in composts can bring new life to poor soils. In most circumstances it's important to prepare your garden soil before planting. This is best done by digging some compost through it to improve soil structure and enrich the garden." John Patrick, ABC's Gardening Australia
