Rose Tone is 6-6-4 while Tomato Tone (same company and used by many for tomatoes) is a 4-7-10. They are essentially the same thing. Only big difference is in the K potash levels and a bit less Nitrogen since tomatoes don't need much of it. So no, you didn't ruin your plants. ;)

You just switched from a low dose organic fertilizer (fish emulsion) that requires more frequent applications to a high dose mostly organic fertilizer that requires infrequent applications. Either fish emulsion or Tomato Tone works - the difference is in the method and frequency of application.;)

I use rose food on many of my veggies, I also use veggie food on many of my ornamentals. I also use them on the intended plants. My garden looks great. The NPK values do vary among them and I see a greater importance for this during seedling and transplant stage because intially root development is extremely important but after establishment the plants seem to grow and flower/fruit well regardless of what food they get. What''s really important will always be good soil preparation--the addtion of organic matter that helps hold moisture in the soil. and later on some mulch to deter germination of weeds that will take water and nutrients from the plants you want and keeping the soil a relatively consistant temperature to preven stress to the plants.

Compost added to the soil to hold moisture.

The right foods at the beginning to stimulate root growth and overall health.

Mulch to deter weed germination and to keep the soil a relatively consistant temperature.

I have also found that those tomato food spikes make dahlias grown and flower like gangbusters.
There are probably a lot of 'specialized' formulas that work well for other things.
