BioAdvanced 2-In-1 Systemic Rose and Flower Care, Granules For Insects, 5 lb

I purchased the 10 lb. size of this product in spring of 2024 and it did excellent damage control/eradication on my roses suffering from thrips and aphids. IMPORTANT: This formula is different from a 5 lb. Bayer 2-in1 I purchased this year, in 2025. They have different dosing instructions as well. This one's dosage (10 lb. jug) is 1/2 cup per rose bush, every 6 weeks. The 5 lb. 2025 product's dosage is 1 capful (2 oz) per rose bush, every 8 weeks. READ THE LABEL to find out which formula you have, as the active ingredients and dosages are vastly different. You don't want to apply too much (or too little), or at the wrong frequency.

Put this on all my roses and the growth is coming in fast. We will see how the flowers compare to previous years when I did nothing this early.Important…make sure you have plants that are edibles at least 3ft away. I have a raspberry bush fairly close to my climbing rose and I didn’t realize until after I applied this stuff that it cannot be that closely applied to edibles. So now I have to wait a year to be able to eat my raspberries again. I’m so disappointed. This was a terrible mistake to make. I better have some beautiful roses to make up for it haha.

My roses were struggling this saved them. Best food for roses

Really works for roses; also got rid of scale insects on pyrocanthus!

Yes, this product is expensive, but after using the items that have to be reapplied after every rainstorm, it was a blessing. You only have to apply it once every 4 to 6 weeks and it produces beautiful blooms and prevents the pests that destroy your beautiful blossoms. I do not have roses. I use it on coneflowers, zinnias, salvia, dahlias even my shrubs, and I’m very satisfied with the results. Highly recommend!

Borer beetles are a big problem for me, as are grasshoppers. I use the product once a month all summer long. It doesn’t seem to bother bees or other pollinators..

Not only does it feed my plants but it controls fungus and pests

After and long and grueling battle with the Japanese beetles last year, I tried EVERYTHING that said would keep them away. Soapy water, some concoction of garlic and several commercial sprays. Nothing helped. Rose bushes and crape myrtles were decimated. Someone suggested this stuff but it is systemic so it takes a bit. FINALLY at the end of the season the roses started to recover. I have already put it down for this season. Lesson learned.
