    Most roses are too small. They arent expensive so order online.

    Your nematodes arrive quickly....a day or two...so pop them in the fridge until your rose arrives:)

      @lowrider69 you can get one from the Nematode people..
      Haws Fine as Rain No14 Coarspray Watering Can Rose for Nematodes

      Or , have a look in your local garden centre I bought a very large plastic watering can from mine which came with a rose where the holes are easily as big if not bigger than the above one.. If you send for it from the Nematoses people it may all arrive together.. :thumbsup:

        Yes lowrider......follow the instructions to the letter.
        Keep agitating the "diluted" nematodes at every stage, even when applying with watering can.
        Dont apply during the day at this time of year if it is sunny. ....if they dry out they will die rapidly. Instead apply in the evening. Water thoroughly afterward. Regularly remove rose and tap it to keep it clear. Water the area every day for 3 days or so to keep soil moist and the nematodes washed into the soil.
        Good luck :)
