Should this be used on a rose bed with a compost mulch on top?

I thought it would allow the compost nutrients to seep down through the membrane while preventing weeds but perhaps it's acting as a barrier to the nutrients reaching the soil.

Any replies would be appreciated.

Yorky,
Nothing wrong with the idea at all a tall. But, if you are mulching, why pay for membrane? The compost mulch will suppress the weeds anyway, retain the moisture and feed the roses.
