I want to buy these for someone who gardens. Will he be protected from rose bush thorns?

They will help if the someone you are talking about handles the stems gently; I have worked with roses and the only gloves that I know of that will stop the piercing of rose thorns are the kevlar ones used in meat processing plants.These gloves are very comfortable and the ones I would choose over kevlar; keep in mind I have done a lot of gardening .

No, these are more of a mechanic glove. As a landscaper I find the best glove to protect against thorny plants is a simple mesh weaved glove with the rubber coated palms.

The palm of the glove has padding on it that should be thick enough to protect from rose bush thorns. The back side of the hand only has padding on the knuckle area so he would not be completely protected on the backs of his hands.

Hi Ja - I've planted several new roses, about 1 month ago and bought the Bayer Advanced 2 in 1 systemic. Early days still, but container states for Roses and Flowers..But contains strong fertilizer and Aphid protection for 8 weeks. Not use on veg or near Ponds and wash hands after use..pretty potent stuff, I.m assuming. Sorry I can't help more - but I was impressed by another product of Bayer and I'm thinking 'Give it a try' Maybe tell you more about performance. a few more months down the line. Regards and Good Luck ..Linda x

I think these would wear out fairly quick on rose cane. Work great on other plants though.

The outside is much more vulnerable than the inside. As long as you do not store them to where they are going to rub you will be fine. This is a nice set.

We have not used for thorn protection as we bought them for using in the pond and don't want holes in them. We use leather gloves for thorn protection. I have seen elbow length leather gloves for that specific purpose, but personally have found that long sleeves and wrist length leather gloves are sufficient until they wear out or seams come unstitched.

Not that I am aware of but I would not exceed 30lbs and make sure no sharp edges touch the mate. They do get hot depending on if you have them enclosed in a box, etc so keep an eye on that so your plants do not dry out. We use them to start seedlings and they work great.

YES if there is enough direct contact. I have had no issue with spraying around bushes flowers etc, but if you do hit them with this accidentally, hose off with water thoroughly and hope for the best. Multiple applications on the Bermuda will be needed to keep it in check.

Hey Mike - I don't know, no experience with Rose of Sharon ...... and I haven't experienced that the rose spikes adversely affected nearby plantings like rhodie, smoke bush, maple, geranium, gouds, cottonwood, etc. .... - I'm thinking you might google what the soil might need for Rose of Sharon then look at what Job's Rose Spikes nutrients - there are great sites, just plug in Jobe's Rose Spikes and see what you find.

Once I saw them, I realized that I wouldn't want to test that claim. We do love the gloves though for gardening! We live in AZ and when you trim cactus plants you need all the protection you can get!

Everything I used it on got burned (in pots or in ground), and I'm afraid to use it. It killed 4 roses on me. The ones that didn't die went into shock and got stunted, and now its going to take 2 years to recover from that.

I haven't had a problem. I bought these because our gardner has used them for 15 years and still has the same pair. May be contact the seller.

From the label it looks like the rose bushes will be tolerant, I would imagine your lillies would be tolerant too. Try not to spray directly on the plant. I often use cardboard to shield my plants from any spray. I've used this to kill grasses around my vinca, and saw no problems. You can always give Ortho a call and ask about your lillies. 800-225-2883. You should also search for "Grass b gon label" and read the full label - it is readily available, and gives a lot of information on plants and safety.

They give you spikes that you put deeply into the ground. We have secured the trellis to a wall. It is not free standing. And we have had no problems. We live in San Diego where all the high hot winds and fires just occurred. The trellis is fine and the vines are still intact and healthy as well. If you have an existing vine or plant it is difficult to install. We had a 15 year old trumpet vine. I do love the trellis.

Absolutely. If they work for my bouganvilla branches, they'd work for roses....still, though, wear gloves. Acutally, I wear 2 pairs when working with pokies.It's one of my best garden toys.

They seem a LITTLE tougher than the store ones, or at least some of them. But I would not count on using them for more than a couple of seasons. Pat of the issue is that plastic breaks down in sunlight. Well if you raise plants in them ..unless you sre doing mushrooms, there is light.

Not if they're thick or "woody" - no rose stems. Cuttings or early pruning from the tops of mums will shred but not as well as leaves. Remember it's a string trimmer turned upside down. There are no blades.

I have mine outside in an unprotected area, doesmn't sem to affect them. Might be a good idea to protect them though,m just a rain shield or something.AJ
