You may have success with Dr. Earth products. We're working on a new site
focusing on safe and natural gardening at http://www.emerysgardenstore.com
and list several of the Dr.Earth products - you can read a little about it
there.

By the way, we're close to launch and I'd welcome any feedback on the site!

Roses don't mind heat, but right now before they get to hot, a good
shovel full
of steer manure around their base with a slow soaking that day will not
hurt
them at all. Then I'd use the Ortho Rose Guard rose food around them.

Rose fertilizer and systemic combos (i.e, Ortho Rose Pride, Dexol Rose
Guard,
Bayer, etc.) tend to be some of the more toxic products on the market.
Most contain
disulfoton as the active ingredient for insect control. It is very highly
toxic to
all mammals through all means of exposure. I'd avoid using this product at
all
costs. Refer to EXTOXNET for addtional information:
