"I thought you deserved a note to let you know how happy we are with Response liquid fertilizer...I have noticed that foliar Response seems to prolong the life of blooms on ornamentals. I grew Delphiniums using foliar Response that were particularly spectacular; three foot flower spikes with fresh florets from top to bottom - a catalog picture, in spite of hot weather and a southern exposure."

M.J. Bailey, Greenhouse Manager, East Oberlin Nursery & Garden Center

"I mixed at the dilution rate on the label and applied the Response solution to plants just outside my office. I applied it to a window box of mixed annuals. The heat wave we have had this summer has stressed the plants in the window box. I also applied it to two climbing roses. After about five days, I was quite surprised  as the amount of new growth, increased flowering, and greenness of the foliage of the annuals, compared to the stressed-out look before applying Response. The leaves on the roses have taken on a deep green and the recently planted one, which has not put out any new growth in two months, is beginning to put out four new canes."

"I used Response on our woody plants stock and I was impressed  with how it perked up the plants without overstimulating them. I gave the sample concentrate  you sent me to our Annuals Department and they used it on their potted herbs. The results were encouraging, the plants perked up remarkably in our hot, dry summer conditions, without excess stimulation. We were pleased with the results, and I a recommending Response to our buyer."

"I am writing to let you know how pleased we are with Response here at Ashdown Roses. We began using it this past Spring and the immediate effect was a deeper greening of the foliage on the roses. We mix it as per your directions and apply it with our fungicides. The second effect became apparent after several months. The fungicides lasted longer and I was able to increase my interval between sprays from 8-10 days to 15-17 days.  Response is a wonderful product for roses and we heartily recommend any rose grower add it to their rose care program.

Here at Ashdown Roses we try to recommend only natural products to our customers. We are happy and proud to say Response has now joined that list. Application is easy and the effect on the roses exceeds our expectations. Keep up the good work!"
