Default mulch question

"gary" You're digging it round, when it
aughta Be SQUARE

few years back I had mulch around my roses, basic woodchips.

they have all broken down and gone away now, and I notice quite a few of my
neighbors are using this red mulch around flowers. I think it is "painted"
mulch, or so I have seen at wal-mart.

any reason NOT to put this around my roses?
just wanted to make sure before I purchase any, did not know what affects
painted mulch might have, didnt see anything about it online.

I know you can get red cedar mulch, but it costs a bit more.

gary

that stuff is also available from Scotts if IIRC 4 colors. shouldn't
harm the plants If I read the label right.
