Plants Know How to Fight Back
RoseReviv™ is a new approach to building resilient plants by activating a plant's natural stress responses. Developed with science and validated through university research, our formula gives you another way to build stronger plants, naturally and sustainably.
It's not a fertilizer or a pesticide. Instead, RoseReviv™ works with your rose's own biology to help rejuvenate your plants.
Naturally derived, nothing to keep alive
RoseReviv™ contains microbe-derived metabolites, deactivated microbial cells, and plant-essential amino acids. It's derived from fermentation products of a consortium of soil-derived microorganisms, so there's nothing to keep alive: two-year shelf life, no refrigeration needed.
It fits the routine you already have. RoseReviv™ is tank-mixable with most inputs (except strongly alkaline products such as bicarbonates); always do a jar test before mixing with a new product.
Don't just treat the problem. Activate the plant.
Plants have sophisticated natural stress-response mechanisms. Our technology is designed to help activate those responses, creating a fundamentally different approach to plant resilience.
Researchers at Ohio State University and the University of Georgia set out to understand what RoseReviv™ does inside the plant. In gene-expression analysis, RoseReviv™ up-regulated more than 2,350 plant genes across kinases, cytochrome P450 and other protein families. It induces measurable plant stress responses within 24 hours of application, with effects sustained for more than 8 days.
| Product type | What it works on |
|---|---|
| Fertilizer | Supplies plant nutrients. |
| Fungicide / insecticide | Acts on pathogens or pests. |
| RoseReviv™ | The plant. RoseReviv™ supports natural plant physiological processes associated with abiotic stress tolerance, and contains no plant nutrients as defined by state fertilizer regulations. |
When a Rose Is More Than a Rose
Rose defoliation is one of the most common challenges rose growers and gardeners face across the U.S. during the summer months. It's the reason we started exploring a different approach to plant health: one that focuses on helping plants activate their own stress responses. That idea became RoseReviv™.
Why heat hits so hard
Scorching is the rose's own way of limiting water loss. And shifting weather patterns have made heat stress a more widespread problem across the U.S., including in regions where roses were chosen for cold hardiness rather than heat tolerance.

Where RoseReviv™ fits
RoseReviv™ supports natural plant physiological processes associated with abiotic stress tolerance. It doesn't replace watering, mulching or good care. It's one more tool for roses heading into a hard season.
“RoseReviv™ gave me the fall bloom in the summertime.”— RoseReviv™ customer · Individual results vary.
Leaf drop can also come from fungal leaf spots in hot, humid weather. If you see spotted leaves, your local cooperative extension office can help identify the cause.

What Customers Are Saying
I’ve been using RoseReviv™ on my potted plants along with my regular monthly fertilizer, and my plants are doing great!— Duane C.Homeowner, Zionsville, IN
I’ve tried RoseReviv™ on both of my yellow and pink climbing roses this spring as a soil drench and foliar spray with my regular fertilizers. I am amazed with the bloom I had this year.— Guangsen T.Homeowner, Alpharetta, GA

How to Use RoseReviv™
RoseReviv™ is absorbed through both leaves and roots, so it can be applied as a foliar spray or as a drench.
First, trim off dead branches. Then drench RoseReviv™ monthly, starting in early October and continuing until the leaves fall, followed by one or two drenches in early spring before new growth emerges. Continue your regular rose care as usual.
Starting this fall is the easiest entry point: one application in October, alongside your last fertilizer of the season. Come the growing season, tank mix RoseReviv™ into your foliar spray program every two weeks from May through September, or drench monthly instead if you prefer not to spray. Continue your regular rose care as usual.
How Much RoseReviv™ Do I Need?
The general mix rate is 1½ teaspoons of RoseReviv™ per gallon of water. Tell us how many roses you have and how tall they are, and we'll do the math for one monthly drench and a full stressed-rose program.
Drench solution per month
1 pint per rose × 1 rose
RoseReviv™ per month
About 0.39 g · dissolve in the 1 pint of water
Stressed-rose program
About 1.97 g total · 5 drenches: early October through early December, then March and April
Measuring small amounts: a kitchen gram scale is the easiest way to measure a partial teaspoon. 1 tsp is about 2.1 g (6 tsp = 12.6 g).

Frequently Asked Questions
Is RoseReviv™ a fertilizer?
No. RoseReviv™ contains no plant nutrients as defined by state fertilizer regulations, so keep feeding your roses as usual.
Can I use RoseReviv™ on other plants?
Yes. RoseReviv™ isn't just for roses. It can be used on many other plants in your garden, including:
- Vegetables: tomatoes, squash, lettuce and other garden crops
- Fruits: apples, grapes and cherries
- Other ornamentals: hydrangea, flowering shrubs and landscape trees
It's especially useful during the moments when plants are most vulnerable: transplanting and new establishment, when roots haven't yet caught up with the canopy, and periods of heat or cold stress. Follow the product label directions for each type of plant.
Can I use RoseReviv™ with my regular fertilizer or pesticide program?
Generally, yes. RoseReviv™ is fully water-soluble and tank-mixable with most inputs, except strongly alkaline products such as bicarbonates. Always do a small jar test before mixing with a new product.
Why do I need a spreader or sticker for foliar spray?
RoseReviv™ contains no spray aids. A spreader or sticker helps the product stay on the foliage. If you don't have a commercial spreader/sticker, 1–2 teaspoons of mild liquid dish soap per gallon of water works as a substitute, though coverage isn't as good, so we recommend a commercial product when possible.
How is RoseReviv™ different from a fungicide or insecticide?
Fungicides and insecticides work by acting on pathogens or pests directly. RoseReviv™ works on the plant instead of the problem: it supports natural plant physiological processes associated with abiotic stress tolerance.
How often should I apply RoseReviv™?
It depends on whether your roses are stressed or healthy. See the "For stressed roses" and "For healthy roses" schedules in How to use. For new plantings and transplants, apply alongside your usual products 1–2 times, 7–10 days apart.
How long does RoseReviv™ last once opened?
Shelf life is 2 years from manufacture. It may absorb moisture and cake over time; this doesn't affect performance. Just dissolve the caked product in a small amount of water for 1–2 minutes before using.
