Any idea's on how to keep Creeping red fescue out of my rose and flower
gardens? It seems to grow over under and around anything in its path

excpet
concretre walls 4 feet tall and 4 feet deep. I am getting tired of

pulling
it.



Keep your beds edged, and if that doesn't work well, then install a root
barrier like you would for bamboo. Ornamec (active ingredient fluziflop
p-butyl) can be sprayed safely around the roses to kill the grass that has
made it into the beds. It may take a couple of applications, but it works
on even bermuda, aka, devil grass.
