New Black Marvel Rose Compost and Planting Mix is a premium Australian Standard organic compost specifically formulated for building up and improving sandy soils, including new or existing rose garden beds.
Simply mix one part Black Marvel Rose Compost and Planting Mix with three parts of the existing garden soil in the bottom of the planting hole and also with the soil used for backfilling around the rose. Remember to always add some Ezi-Wet Soil Wetter to further reduce water loss and plant stress.
Black Marvel contains beneficial Micro Flora that feed on the spores of fungi helping to reducing the incidence of black spot and powdery mildew.
For established roses apply a 15-20cm thick layer of compost and planting mix over the soil and gently work it into the soil, taking care to avoid disturbing the plants roots. Richgro Black Marvel Premium Rose Food is also included in the planting mix.
