Use of Spreader stickers for spraying roses

Rose Care
1

As I begin the spraying season in my garden, I pondered the long time habit of using a spreader sticker. I am spraying a biofungicide which recommends the use. In the past I have often used Dawn dish soap, but others have indicated that I should use a product specific for this such as Indicate 5 which I am currently using. I am interested in what are others using if anything

I use Tweak which is just like Indicate 5 but cheaper. Some spreader stickers need to used with caution because they can be too effective and burn new rose leaves.

Thanks for the suggestion - I will look up Tweak

Diane - Duane D. here. I use Coco Wet from Spray and Grow. Using it for years. The cost is comparable to Indicate 5 at $57.00 per gallon and the official dilution rate is 1/2 teaspoon per gallon. I honestly don’t measure it just pour some in the tank and spray. Never have had an issue with it harming the roses.

Diane, It is a product from Southern Agriculture. They are out of Palmetto, Fl, Henderson and Boone, North Carolina. It comes in a gallon and is cheap.
