We planted a climbing rose bush a month ago and today i applired Ortho Total Kill: Lawn Weed Killer, i spraid it on and by the rose bush. Is it going to die? What can I do? I read in the packet that it will harm bushes.

pronto rinse well with water and fertilize just hope you caught it in time you should always read instructions or it will distruct.
Reply:I hope you washed off the poisons! The rose should live. Be very careful to don't use poisons! Think organic. Your rose will love it. Did you plant the rose like its planting directions said? That is to mix in organics like compost into its planting hole. Mix organics into the soil you dig out and use to fill in the hole . If not did calderas around the drip line of the plant. Two or three post holes about 12 inches deep and a 12 inches from the trunk of the plant. Fill the holes with organics. Dig one hole at a time if kitchen wastes are limited. Compost is best. Coffee grounds banana peels and trimmings from salads and such. These calderas are for the mid to long term health of the plants. A little chemical fertilizer and water once a twice a week. You also need a trellis for a climber.
Reply:OOps! Dear Rose Worrier,


Flood the roses and trench or direct the water flow toward the lawn and away from the rose bush. If the bush has been there for a while but is not too old it will pull out. It may struggle till next year but if you flush it well it should snap back. Add eggshell, compost, or acid for roses to renutrate it through the struggle. Best wishes.
