Quite impressive for a single product line in a competitive environment! The explanation is fairly simple: Response is easy to use, and after a few applications, the results are visually apparent. Encouraged or impressed with these immediate benefits, growers continue to use Response as recommended to produce outstanding results.

Foliar Feeding - Chapter 14 - Feeding Show Roses "Roses can and do feed through their foliage and the use of foliar feeds can enhance the lush green foliage typical of the finest show-quality roses... In my survey of top exhibitors, conducted for the Spring 2001 issue of Rose Exhibitors' Forum, I determined that 63% of the respondents add a foliar feed to their spray mixtures. The most popular foliar feed among exhibitors is Response, which is used by over 40% of the respondents... I have used Response for two years and have found that is significantly improves the foliage and also increases the effectiveness of my spray chemicals by carrying the material deeper into the foliage..."

"I get many questions from customers on foliar feeding. Currently there is only ONE nitrogen-containing product that I would ever use as a foliar feed: Response. ...You can safely add Response to your regular preventative pesticide solution. This has been a secret weapon of top exhibitors for years! You will see a noticeable effect on the color, size, and vigor of your leaves." Robbie Tucker, Rosemania, Franklin, TN |

"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!" Ashdown Roses Ltd., 2003 |

"I want to mention a product I'm coming to love. It's called Response. Essentially, it's a seaweed-based fertilizer that you mix with your fungal spray. Folks, it flat out works. We can now go 18-20 days between spraying instead of 10-12. Plus, you get lovely dark green foliage. We've used it for to years on tens of thousands of roses and it's wonderful."
