Its better to start out more dilute and see how it works first. You can always up the concentration in small increments until you get the desired effect. Please let me know what concentration you discover works best.

Have you tried Epsom Salts with any container roses? Curious what the water/salt ratio is. I tried using the same ratio of the systemic fertilizer that I normally use on my in-ground roses on my container roses and it burned them. Any thoughts? Great and useful article.
