Testimonials
The numerous verbal compliments, endorsements and customer reorders have been most gratifying and, as word spreads, more and more growers continue to express their appreciation. The most common or most noted benefits are:
- Overall
increase in vigor and color of foliage-
"...foliage is like that in all catalogue pictures
but never in your garden, dark green and healthy."
- Increased
intensity of bloom colors; blooms open slower and last longer-
"...If you ever want to win again, you better use Response!"
- Excellent
transplant solution resulting in sturdier transplants with excellent
root growth-
"...Everything I read about this product turned out
to be true!"
The following was excerpted from a column in the American Rose magazine, written by the late Howard Walters ("The Rosarian Rambler"):
|
"The Rambler has been generally skeptical of foliars that promise miracles, but this Response material really brings out they best in leaves.... but now the Rambler concedes that sea-mineral supplements make a difference, even when an otherwise good feeding program is in place. Response is a good one!" |
Many satisfied customers happily endorse Response, their occupations covering the full spectrum of Response's effectiveness. Below is a sampling of a few comments put out by satisfied users:
|
"Everything that I read about this product turned out to be true. Foliage was green, lush, larger than usual and seemed to stay on the plant longer. Bloom colors were clearer, stronger and generally more satisfying. I am very pleased with the results that I obtain using Response and I would highly recommend it to anyone serious about growing the best roses possible." Bob Marker, San Francisco, CA |
|
"Miniatures that I dug up in January and potted have very rich foliage, with deeper green than what I had seen in the past. My roses last fall, after I began using Response when we returned home in September, were excellent and other rosarians that visited my garden remarked on the change in my foliage. I am using it weekly in my fertilizer for impatiens in hanging baskets at the rate 1/2 teaspoon to two gallons. The impatiens have very green foliage and intense color in the blooms." Russ Bowermaster, Bradenton, FL |

"We have enjoyed using your product this last year and have seen great results on our roses. For years I have searched for a product to keep the foliage green, and healthy without going to extremes. Adding Response to our weekly spray has provided the additive we needed to keep the foliage beautiful." Dennis of Bridges Roses, NC |

"I have been using Response on my roses since the 1992 growing season...since using Response, my roses have never looked better, especially the foliage and the intensity of bloom color. The one consistent comment I receive from other exhibitors is that they wish they could get their foliage to look as good as mine." Bob Choate, Consulting Rosarian |
|
"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 |

"...we decided
to try your product on our exhibition
roses last year...the results
were: Our winning entries included Best of Show at the Cleveland Rose Society, King of Show at the Buckeye district in Dayton, and Queen of Show at our Forest city Fall Show." Scott Bailey, Vice President - The Forest City Rose Society |

"At the Nashville National Convention I purchased a product called Response. This product has been available for some time. There are articles back as far as 1995. I read most of these articles, but until you actually talk to someone that has used it, you don't think too much about it. After seeing the foliage and the color of the blooms from exhibitors that used Response I decided to buy a quart. In my garden, I am sure my roses hold their shape longer. In a short time you will be sold on the product. I only bought a quart because I wanted to see how it worked in my garden. Even with this heat I am sold on Response." Richard Yale, Jacksonville, FL |

"I have grown tomatoes hydroponically for six years,... by incorporating Response my seedlings were ready for transplants 5-7 days earlier, I gained 10-14 days in my production cycle and experienced a 10-15% increase in yield." Jeff Baldaff, North Fairfield, OH |
