Jobe's Rose Fertilizer Spikes, Easy Plant Care Plant Fertilizer for Rose, Hydrangea, Hibiscus, Azalea, and Other Flowering Shrubs, 10 Count

I've never used these Jobes spikes till a week ago. I cannot really rate yet. My Great Grandfather used Jobes on his prized Rose's. Back then it was granular in a bag. I'm sure I will be purchasing again, they are so easy to spade a little place at least 12" out from your Rose, stick your spike in there & cover over. My mother used Jobes on her Rose's too, and other Jobes products. Spikes & bagged on different things. BE SURE TO READ THE INSTRUCTIONS! UPDATE! I've been using these Jobes Rose Spikes and I have to say, WOW! They took my 30+ year rose bushes back to full & beautiful! I ordered the Tomatoe also. I'm totally satisfied for sure. Ordering more Jobe's Rose now for Fall application to help through Winter.

It began working but we've had a great deal of rain. I will have to put more in my yard.

Ease of fertilizing roses

We are pleased with this product. I would give it 5 stars, but I'm not sure if it's the food spikes or the drip irrigation system combined with incredibly sunny weather lately or the combination of all of the above that receive credit for our beautiful growing roses. We have 17 Knock Out (that's a brand) rose bushes and since we put them in, about 2 months ago, the plants have nearly doubled in size. I added the food spikes about 2 weeks after we planted them. They have consistent blooms, consistent growth, and healthy leaves. I'm very pleased with this product and plan on buying more next year.

Nice and good big roses , small rose plant growing now. Big dark bright full awesome colors of roses. I also mixed bio-advanced but after this spike growth is awesome, bio advance don’t help any on other insects, I stopped that fertilizer and now only using jobes spikes. I used monthly 2 spikes to my each normal rose plant for best result. If plant is bigger like in my image using 3 spikes. Ordered 4 packs more recently.

I’d say they work wonders. I bought my rose bushes from Lowe’s and one had blooms on them And the other one didn’t. But the plants looked like crap after the blooms fell off and I planted them both. I dead headed the rose bushes completely. I have one pink and one red rose bush. When I bought the pink one I specifically bought it with 0 blooms so when I planted it I could enjoy it. And nothing. So I ordered Jobe’s thinking it needed nutrients and voila!! I’ve had nothing but buds! Here is the most recent bloom from my pink rose bush. I absolutely love it. I recommend Jobe’s!

NB: I've read the negative reviews and suspect some folks are overfeeding while others are not placing the spikes in an appropriate place. In addition, I would not use these (quite large) spikes in containers, but would use small, flowering plant spikes or just use regular granular rose food. More info: My roses are planted in sand and are watered through flood irrigation. Regular rose food would wash away during irrigation. These spikes work great and have made my roses the envy of the neighborhood for 20 years. Tips: Use the number recommended on the package based on the size of your bush, place the spikes halfway between the center of the bush and the edge of the bush, and drive them into the ground. (If a root blocks the spike, try a slightly different location.) Space the spikes evenly around the circumference of the bush. The spikes will feed your roses wonderfully for three months at least. Remember not to feed prior to dormancy.

Roses are hungry plants and these spikes take care of that. Easy to install, you will need soft soil or a mallet to bang them in into the ground. These spikes take the guesswork out of fertilizing my roses and the plants seem to thrive on them. I am just a homeowner with some roses in the flowerbeds but people always comment on them as they walk by.

These are fantastic. I had not fertilized my roses for some time. Quick to use. I honestly got a full bush of roses instead of just a few.

This product was exactly what I expected, and worked as I thought it would.

I am a experienced gardener, know how to take care of my plants and roses. I use fertilizers regularly and I know what works the best. This kind is fantastic! I saw a huge difference in two weeks and later in 1 month. Roses are blooming nonstop. Can recommend to anyone and will definitely buy again!

Easy to do

We have a garden that hasn't been mulched, rototilled, or nourished in any way for about 50 years, We planted a new rosebush last year, and this year it was a straggly small bush with small, short-lived flowers, about 3. Then in early June we used this product. Now the bush is 4-5 times the size and there are more than 10 big roses on it! Feed your roses.
