Roses are heavy feeders with a long flowering season, and the usual approach of a handful of granules in spring leaves them running on empty by Christmas. Rose Focus is Growth Technology's complete liquid nutrient for roses, made in Australia: all 12 essential minerals, extra calcium in a highly soluble form, nitrogen as nitrate, no urea, chlorides or sodium, and pH buffered for tap water. Growth Technology formulates it for large, vibrant, fragrant, longer-lasting blooms, and because it goes on at every watering the plant is fed through the whole season rather than in one hit. It suits roses in pots, beds and standards, at 3–10ml per litre. Available in 250ml, 1L, 5L and 20L.

Extra calcium, fully solubleCalcium 1.1% w/v in a form roots take up straight away. Growth Technology includes it for stronger growth and, in its words, to help increase disease resistance.
Balanced for bloom, not just leafPotassium 2.3% against nitrate-nitrogen 1.8%. Enough nitrogen for healthy canes and foliage, with the balance tipped towards flowering.
Season-long feedingDesigned for use at every watering rather than a spring top-dress. A rose fed little and often keeps producing through to autumn.
No urea, chlorides or sodiumNitrate nitrogen only. Nothing to break down, nothing building up around the roots of a potted standard.
Pots, beds and standardsFormulated for soil and hydroponics, so a potted rose on the patio and a bed of hybrid teas run off the same bottle.
pH buffered for tap waterMix at the label rate and the solution sits in range with most Australian tap water. No pH pen.

Grower's Tip
  • Start feeding as the first new leaves open after winter pruning and keep going at every watering until the plant slows in autumn.
  • Potted roses get the low end of the range and more frequent watering; a rose in the ground can take the higher rate once it is established.
  • Water the solution onto the soil, not the foliage, and water early in the day. Wet leaves overnight are an invitation to fungal problems that no fertiliser fixes.
  • Flush pots with plain water once a month. Roses in containers show salt stress as scorched leaf margins.
  • Deadhead to the first outward-facing five-leaflet leaf and the next flush comes faster. Feeding gives the plant the reserves to make it.
  • Mix fresh each fortnight and store the concentrate cool and dark.

How To Use It
1Shake the bottle. Measure 3–7ml per litre of water for soil and potting mix, or 5–10ml per litre for hydroponics. Start at the low end on young or potted plants.
2Add the concentrate to the water and mix. Tap water is fine and no pH adjustment is needed.
3Water the root zone thoroughly, keeping the solution off the leaves. For a bed, water around the drip line of each bush.
4Repeat at every watering from spring growth through to autumn.
5Once a month, water with plain water only to flush mineral salts. Mix fresh solution at least every fortnight.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Rose Focus suitable for potted roses?

Yes. It is formulated for soil, potting mix and hydroponics. Use the low end of the range (3ml per litre) on potted roses and flush the pot monthly.

How often should I feed roses with it?

At every watering through the growing season, from the first spring leaves until the plant slows in autumn. Growth Technology directs the whole Focus range to be used at every watering.

Does it contain urea?

No. Rose Focus is free from urea, chlorides and sodium. Nitrogen is supplied as nitrate.

Why the extra calcium?

Growth Technology includes extra calcium in a highly soluble form to support strong growth and, in its words, help increase disease resistance. Calcium at 1.1% w/v is higher than in Flower Focus.

Do I need to adjust the pH?

No, not with most tap water. It is pH buffered.

How much do I use?

3–7ml per litre of water in soil and potting mix, 5–10ml per litre in hydroponics, at every watering. Flush with plain water once a month.

What is the NPK?

Growth Technology publishes a full analysis rather than a ratio: nitrate-nitrogen 1.8%, phosphorus 0.6% and potassium 2.3% w/v, plus calcium, magnesium, sulfur and six chelated trace elements. The full table is in Specifications.

Can I use it on other flowering shrubs?

Yes, it will feed them, but Flower Focus is the range's general flowering formula. Rose Focus is balanced specifically for roses with the extra calcium they respond to.

How long does a mixed solution last?

About 1–2 weeks. After that, replace it.

That's the filter everything on our shelves passes through. No sales scripts, no rebadged junk, no telling you what you want to hear. Just gear we'd run ourselves and advice from people who actually grow. Chasing higher yields, tighter flowers, or your first harvest? You're in the right place.
