Fertilizing Roses - Rose Plant Food

How To Fertilize Your Roses With Rose Food


Fertilizing roses with a great rose plant food is a must if you want to have lots of rose blooms.

Roses needs a steady supply of nutrients, rose fertlizers, to bloom their best, so it's best to begin fertilizing on a regular schedule.

If you have just planted new roses, wait until the roses have flowered once, before fertilizing them.

Repeat blooming roses flower in cycles that I call, flower flushes. So after each flower flush it would be appropriate to apply some fertilizing.

Established roses should be fertilized in early spring, and then every four weeks until late summer, when you should stop feeding the roses.

If your soil is very rich and loamy with composted manure and mulches, the simplest way to fertilizing the roses is to give them a good dressing of composted manure twice a year; once in the spring and another in the summer.

I do not recommend using foilar feeds, because they involve a lot of work and give very little apparent benefit.

All balanced fertilizers contains nitrogen, and you'll notice that fertilizing products for roses emphisize nitrogen.

Nitrogen, used to green up your lawn, will keep your roses green too. The nitrogen goes to the leaves of your rose bush, and generate energy that leads to bud formation, and of course more flowers.

So make sure you are fertilizing with plenty of nitrogen.

The best rose fertilizers are complete and balanced with the following elements.

N (nitrogen): For enhancing the growth of leaves and stems.

P (phosphorous): For good flowering and strong root growth.

K (potassium): For overall good growth, vigor and disease resistance.

The numerical value for fertilizing your roses should be 5-9-6.

Always remember to deep water your roses before applying fertilizers.

Fertilizing roses is certainly worth the effort, and the reward is lots of beautiful rose blooms.

A lot of people are asking me about what type of fertilizer I use for my roses. Well I have tried quite a few fertilizing products, but I always come back to my favorite: Jackson & Perkins Rose foods. They are so easy to use and apply, and my roses seem to bloom the best with their fertilizing for roses products.
