When is it ok to start using this on plants to give them a boost?

    it's slow release so shouldn't do much harm unless you're expecting a period of very cold weather.

    It's also recommended that you wear gloves when using, it should be safe as everything is heat treated / sterilised but as it is blood and bone its just an extra precaution.

    Fed all my Clematis with FBB this weekend and they always seems to appreciate it come early summer

    Should I add FBB to my roses, if so should I rake it into the top few inches of the soil or will this damage the roots?

    Just be careful. I use a hand cultivator that spreads FBB around my plants. This scapes the top surface of soil. The main thing is to water in FBB around the plant so that it sinks in to the roots so it’s works quicker
