Dutch growers, for over fifty years, transplant half year old rose bushes. To improve root regeneration and increased first year flower yield when transplanting bare root rose bushes the roots are immersed in a solution containing Rhizopon AA Water Soluble Tablets dissolved in water. The roots are not cut back except for damaged or broken roots. Living roots contain stored carbohydrates. The bare roots of the rose bushes are immersed for ten minutes in a solution containing three Rhizopon AA tablets per liter water or five minutes at five Rhizopon AA tablets per liter water.
Concentration is measured in tablets per liter of solution and is easily dissolved.
After treatment the rose bushes are planted immediately. Warm soil temperature is a major factor in utilization of the active ingredients.
