2 Steve Sheard Consulting Rosarian By Steve Sheard. Fusilade II Grass control including Bermuda! What is it: The active ingredient in Fusilade II is Fluazifop-p-butyl. It is a very effective selective herbicide for the control of grass in landscape areas, including in and around flowers. It is easy to use, has a low odor and can be used on a wide range of ornamentals. What does it do: It is a Caution classified product and the label gives directions for use on a large variety of plants. It works best when the grass is growing well as it gets absorbed and works it way throughout the plant, killing the roots as well as the top growth. (Spraying on dormant Bermuda grass in the winter will have little effect). How to use it: The label has instructions for large areas as well as mixing it down to 1 gallon. The strength I use is 0.75 Oz per 1 Gallon of water. Mixed in a 1 or two gallon sprayer it can be applied directly over the roses and other plants. The more you get on the grass rather than the other plants the better! It is best to follow the label and cover up as with any chemical you spray, the less on you the better. Testimonial: Steve Sheard. I have used it for a number of years and find that it works wonders. I decided to trust the label and spray it over my other bedding plants, (Petunias, Snap Dragons, Sweet Peas, Pansies) and it killed the grass and the bedding plants thrived at not having the grass to compete with. HOWEVER It does take its time, like 3 to 4 weeks, so be patient. We use it in the rose garden at MCC to control the grass. Where to buy it: There are a number of On-Line mail order sites that sell Fusilade II. It is available from Wilbur-Ellis in Tempe April,
3 ROSE CARE CORNER for May 2013 by Phyllis Henslin, Consulting Rosarian From the comments I have heard, the spring rose bloom has been one of the best. Yes, we have experienced some tremendous winds that whipped our roses back and forth, yet there were outstanding roses exhibited at the Glendale and Phoenix Rose shows in April and the annual Rose Garden tour was a success. If the heat holds off we should see another nice bloom cycle in May. With summer fast approaching, there are some basic things you should do to help keep your roses flourishing through the summer heat. Give them the basic TLC and they will be ready to put out new growth and blooms when October arrives with cooler temperatures. Water: If you haven t already done so, check your watering system to make sure it is working properly and increase the amount of water you give them as temperatures hit the 100 plus mark. Roses in pots dry out fast so they may need water daily. Mulch: It is important to have a 3 to 4 inch layer of mulch around your roses. Mulch helps retain moisture in the ground plus keeps weeds to a minimum. Deadheading: Diligent deadheading of spent blooms throughout April and May is the key to promoting new growth and blooms before the intense heat starts. Use caution when deadheading so you don t remove too many leaves from the plant. Leaves on the canes are needed to help shade the canes from the sun and provide nutrition for the rose bush. Fertilizer: Finish off your regular fertilization program by mid-may and then change to a slow release organic fertilizer, such as Milorganite, every 4 to 6 weeks at half the recommended rate. The objective during summer feeding is to keep your bushes healthy, but not over fed so they produce new growth that will burn in the heat. Water wand: The water wand can be your rose s best friend. Weekly use of the wand will give your rose bushes a boost of moisture, clean their leaves and keep spider mites under control. Be sure to spray the top and bottom of the leaves to eliminate spider mites. Garden diary: A helpful tool to record your fertilization and spray program. Make note of roses that are susceptible to disease or that do not do well in our desert heat. You may want to shovel prune them to make room for a new bush this fall. I also like to record the rainfall we receive throughout the year. This past year our area received substantial rainfall and our roses responded with a beautiful spring bloom.

9 Welcome to the Sheard Home April,
10 AZ has Tetanus in the soil, we all play in our soil. Tetanus is a bacteria spore found in soil. Tetanus spores are extremely hardy as they are resistant to heat and most antiseptics, spores don t die easily. Tetanus can be prevented through the highly effective tetanus vaccine,... We all love to play in the soil of our Roses to make them beautiful, Roses have those wonderful thorns. The Tetanus Spore enters the body through a puncture of the skin. Tetanus does not spread from one person to another. Tetanus prevention is immunization. Almost all cases according to documentation occur in people who have never been immunized or have not had a booster within 10 years. I would suggest to seek the advice of your health care provider with any open injury, deep puncture wounds or especially dirty vectors may require booster under the 10 year anniversary. SAFE than SORRY, is a good rule for any potential exposure to Tetanus. When you have an open wound, wash with running water and soap ASAP, Dial Soap has often been suggested by medical professionals. I had a case of Tetanus from a Rose Gardener who had a thorn wound and never received child hood immunizations or any adult booster. Kyle Burnis, RN, BSN, CCRN Nurse Recruiter Judy I followed thru with the Jack Falker blog you suggested on pg. 17 of the April Rose Lore newsletter. Most interesting. Thank you for recommending this blog. I don t like to use chemicals on my roses if possible. So this article on using Dr Bonner s liquid Castile soap in solution with baking soda as an insecticide was most interesting. I searched all over the East valley for stores that sold the liquid Castile soap recommended. And yes, WHOLE FOODS does carry this line of Castile soap in their "Face and Body" products section. (WHOLE FOODS has four locations in the valley Tempe, Chandler, Scottsdale and Paradise Valley. No, I don t work for them.) They have multiple scents available. I got an 8oz bottle of the peppermint scent (as suggested) on sale last week for less than $5. At the recommended rate, that s 4 gallons of spray. Enough for me to use as a very economical alternative to the commercial insecticide sprays I have been purchasing from the local garden centers. I asked Mike Jepsen for his opinion at the last MERVS meeting. Mike commented not to use this oil based spray when our temps soar since the plants might burn. The article on using coffee grounds as mulch and to acidize soil was also of interest. I stopped at my local Starbucks. They gave me over 50# of used coffee grounds FREE without hesitating. Told me come back anytime for more. The young man who helped even brought the bag out to my car for me. I spread about a pound around each of my bushes. Tried just distributing by hand, but found it much easier to mix the used grounds with some water to pour on the soil. Very messy, but effective. Mike Jepsen commented not to overdue with coffee grounds. Bob O Brien April,
