Anybody use these for roses and/or other plants, both ornamental and

I have "regular" rose and other foods in granular form. Was just about
to apply & thought I'd try the spikes.

Just curious if those spikes deliver on their promise to supply long-
lasting food to roots.

Being an elephant's child, I did try them on some miniature roses many years
ago... I had a couple of dozen of the same cultivar in a small bed and someone
had given me a package of rose spikes. Can't say I saw any difference between
the half of the bed that had rose spikes and the other half that had weekly
dousings of Peters' general purpose, half strength.

Soil was basic prairie loam that had had some well aged horse manure dug
in, dry grass clippings for mulch.
