Mile High Rose Feed: Good News and Bad News
First, the good news via an e-mail I received from Christie in Colorado in 2003:
Dear Lori, I emailed you about two months ago about purchasing the Mile high rose feed. I have to let you know how impressed I have been. I live in Colorado on the western slope about 6,000 ft high. I am in the piñon/juniper area and haul my own water plus have the worst soil I can think of. I have lots of rugosa roses, floribundas, species and a few miniature roses. Most of them are 3–5 years old and I have given them generic fertilizers over the years.
This year after giving them the rose food I am amazed—huge growth, masses of blooms including one species rose that has never bloomed (five years old) now has hundreds of buds and blooms. I have never seen this much result from one application of fertilizer and plan to do another in about two weeks. Thank you so much for developing this food. I and my roses love it. –Christie C.
Mile High Rose Feed works—that’s the good news. The bad news: it isn’t for sale where Christie lives. (I mailed a bag to her a few years ago, but now, I typically work six days per week in the spring and hardly have time to keep up my own place.) So I suggested a substitute product: Yum Yum Mix from High Country Gardens in Santa Fe, available by mail order. Does anyone have any experience with this product as far as growing roses? If so, please post a comment.

Thank you for contacting High Country Gardens. The Yum Yum Mix is an outstanding organic fertilizer. We recommend using it with Planters II and Soil Mender compost for roses. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Matt Swart
