Vaselife Defend Rose Dip

Vaselife Defend Rose Dip

Vaselife Defend is a clear, non-sticky, water-based dip which is highly cost effective and helps to increase flower storage and transport times.

About this product

Long transport, rising resistance and stricter residue audits put pressure on every export rose. Defend Rose Dip is a unique concentrated polymer carrier that forms a fine film on the rose head, helping hold your chosen fungicide through grading, cold storage and long-distance transport, when Botrytis pressure is at its highest. You decide what goes into your dip and stay in control.

Vaselife Defend is a post-harvest treatment for roses that helps keep flowers healthy during transport and storage. Defend the quality and value of your flowers with Vaselife Defend!
