Hi all,

Here in Central Pa we had a cool May. It did get warm into the high 70's-80's for a few days but back to cool rainy weather again.

I have some roses that look like they are showing iron deficiencies. (Yellowing with Green Veins on the newer leaves) The soil PH is around 6.6-6.7... The mulch is 1" deep or less underneath and around the rose bush.
We have clayish soil so I'm guessing its coming from the soil being to wet or cold or combination.

So should I use a Chelated iron product?

I was wondering if anyone ever used (Espoma) Iron -Tone???
Wonder if that formula would even work for me in my situation?
How long does it take to work?

Since my other nutrients are good in my soil I probably should just use a Iron product without the other added nutrients???

What you all think???

Carefree Sunshine Rose has the worse problem... I have another Carefree Sunshine planted 6ft away from this one and its leaves are green.
Other roses in the backyard showing slight signs of deficiency...
