Preen helps Washington couple care for hundreds of rose bushes
"My husband and I are 82 years old and we maintain 500 rose bushes, a large perennial garden, vegetable garden and other areas of planting in our yard. We were getting frustrated trying to keep ahead of the weeds. When we tried to hire someone to weed for us, the wages were ridiculous. A couple of my friends recommended Preen. We did do all the weeding first and spread Preen.
I used seven, 16-pound containers of Preen Weed Preventer with Brilliant Blooms Fertilizer. We couldn't be happier. My perennial garden is weed free.
I have told more people, from friends to strangers, about Preen. Our local Ace Hardware stores were having to order extra for me! "

Small, tough shrubs perfect
for containers or landscapes
