What are the various solutions available to you?
The landscape company Waterwise Landscaping gives you advice!
What type of fertilizer?
There are several types of fertilizers that nourish your roses and at the same time respect nature.
Organic manure, that is to say animal or vegetable manure, which is found in particular in horn scrapings, cow or horse excrement or dried blood, has the merit of being exclusively organic. It will provide your soil with rich nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphate or potassium (which can also be found, for example, in wood ashes).
You can also use commercial liquid or granular fertilizers.
Waterwise landscaping advise you on natural fertilizers that respect the ecology and ensure that your roses bloom just as well.
Think for example of coffee grounds: it stimulates the growth of plants when it is mixed with the soil of the rosebush and its strong smell also helps to keep insects away.
Wood ash helps prevent plant diseases and has the advantage of repelling gastropods. The cooking water provides many trace elements and is a perfect liquid fertilizer. Do not hesitate to water the feet of your roses with it in winter.
What solutions to feed your roses in pots?
When your roses are in pots, you can use a fairly rich compost or organic manure as mentioned above. Consider feeding your roses once every fortnight with this fertilizer until flowering is complete.
For your roses in the ground, if they bloom only once a year, use the fertilizer in the spring. If they flower constantly, consider adding a second fertilizer in summer.
When and how to feed your roses?
When fall and winter arrive, place manure or compost at the base of the rose bush. The ground must not be frozen. Make a kind of claw in the earth at the foot of the rosebushes, then disperse the chosen fertilizer and incorporate your fertilizer into the soil before putting the earth back on top to protect your feet.
Pay attention to the quantities of fertilizer to put. They vary according to your choice, granulated, liquid fertilizer or organic manure.
When the first buds arrive, you will have to repeat this operation to guarantee your roses optimal growth.
