The David Austin Mycorrhizal Fungi pouches support the enhancement of root growth naturally when planting roses. When these helpful organisms are sprinkled onto the roots of roses in the planting stage, they are present in the soil to exchange essential nutrients and water for the sugars produced by the plants through photosynthesis.

They can be thought of as valuable allies, helping to extend the plants' root systems much farther than they could reach alone. This allows the roses to access more nutrients and moisture from the soil, resulting in healthier growth and more beautiful blooms.

Mycorrhizal fungi are beneficial for the healthy growth of roses and can be easily incorporated into the planting process. These beneficial organisms enhance the overall health of the plants, making it easier for them to establish strong roots and flourish in the garden.

Better root establishment

Mycorrhizal fungi stimulate the growth of strong root systems, allowing the roses to settle into their new environment more effectively.

Increased nutrient absorption

These fungi aid the rose roots in absorbing essential
nutrients like phosphorus and nitrogen, which are vital for healthy growth and
vibrant blooms.

Improved drought resistance

The extensive root network created by the fungi enables the roses to access water from deeper soil layers, making them more resilient during dry spells. This is especially beneficial for gardeners who may occasionally forget to water!

Enhanced disease resistance

Mycorrhizal fungi also bolster the overall health of the plants, providing natural protection against soil-borne diseases. A robust root system helps the roses fend off pests and diseases more effectively.

Prepare the planting hole:

Dig a hole that is both wide and deep enough to comfortably accommodate the roots of the rose plant.

Apply the fungi:

Lightly dust the roots of the rose with the fungi before placing it in the hole.
