FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

Does your compost contain pests or fungus?

Fungus gnats are a common frustration with many mass-market composts, but we take plant health seriously. Our compost is professionally screened and stored in a clean environment to ensure it is free from infestations. By choosing our specialised mix, you are making the correct decision to keep your home pest-free while providing your plants with a clean, healthy start.

How will your compost make my roses thrive?

Give your roses the royal treatment they deserve with Jamieson Brothers Rose Planting Compost. This 35L specialist blend is uniquely fortified with John Innes No. 3, our most nutrient-dense loam formula, specifically to satisfy the heavy-feeding nature of roses. The added mineral richness provides the essential physical weight to anchor bushes securely, while the high-potash content fuels the development of large, fragrant blooms and deep green foliage. Designed to prevent transplant shock and provide a long-lasting nutrient reservoir, it ensures your roses have the perfect, stable environment to flourish year after year.

Does your compost contain large bits of bark (garden waste) or random seeds?

A common complaint with cheaper alternatives is finding "green waste" or unwanted seeds in the bag. Our Rose Planting Compost is a refined, high-quality medium that is strictly monitored for purity.

You can be confident that you are receiving a consistent, professional-grade product that contains only the nutrients and structure your houseplants need, with no unwanted surprises or contaminants.

What's the structure & consistency of your compost?

Inferior composts can often arrive bone dry or as a fine dust that is difficult to water. Because our mix contains John Innes, it has a much better physical "body" and weight. This helps it retain the correct amount of moisture without becoming waterlogged or dusty. It is easy to handle and provides the perfect air-to-water balance that is essential for the delicate roots of indoor varieties.

Why is this specialised mix a better investment than a cheaper compost?

Buying a “bargain” compost often leads to the hidden costs of purchasing extra fertilisers, improving poor soil structure or replacing roses that struggle to establish. Our Rose Planting Compost is an all-in-one professional solution. Its substantial, supportive blend helps provide roses with the moisture stability and root conditions required for strong, healthy growth and beautiful flowering displays.

It is the most reliable choice for anyone planting roses in pots, beds or borders.
