Rose Fork, 2-tined

Rose Fork, 2-tined

Revived by Sneeboer in 1998 after surfacing in the writings of legendary rose grower David Austin, the Rose Fork, 2-tined is a historic tool brought back for a reason. Its two sharp, straight stainless steel tines drive cleanly into the ground — loosening compacted soil, opening air channels, and helping roots reach the nutrients they need. Whether you’re settling a newly planted rose bush or refreshing an established shrub bed, this hand-forged Dutch tool makes the job feel exactly as it should: purposeful and precise.

Aerate and Enrich Soil Around Roses, Shrubs, and Trees

The ideal moment to reach for this fork is right after planting. Once your hole is dug and your soil is blended with fertilizer, use the tines to create aeration channels in the surrounding earth. This opens the root zone, encourages drainage, and sets the stage for strong, healthy growth. And don’t let the name limit you — this fork performs equally well around shrubs, ornamental trees, and perennial plantings.
