Finding a Lost Granular Rose Fertilizer with "Grow" in the Name

When Nursery-Brand Fertilizers Disappear

A San Antonio gardener seeks an inexpensive granular fertilizer (5-10 lb bags, applied every 6 weeks) with "Grow" in the name, previously sold at Wolfe and Calloway's Nurseries.

Why It's Gone

Large nurseries contract private-label fertilizers. When bids change, brands switch. The product may still exist under the manufacturer's label.

Practical Alternatives

• Shop farm/feed stores for bulk fertilizers—cheaper than garden centers.
• Ask feed store staff to blend a custom rose formula.
• Consider Miracle-Gro (formerly Miracle Grow) as a widely available option.
• Make your own from individual components (N-P-K sources) at farm stores.

Application Efficiency

Granular fertilizers applied to soil surface and watered in are faster than liquid feeding for large collections.
