How to fertilize climbing roses

Seedling stage

Climbing roses have weak resistance during the seedling stage and should not be fertilized too much. Instead, you can apply more urea and other fertilizers with high oxygen content to help the seedlings grow quickly.

During this period, you can also spray some rooting powder to help the roots of the seedlings grow quickly.

During this period, you can also dilute the fertilizer with water and irrigate with water.

Growth

After the seedling stage, the root system of the climbing rose has become stable and begins to grow rapidly. In order to prepare for flowering, frequent fertilization is needed during this period to ensure that the roses have adequate nutrition.

Frequent fertilization is required during this period, about once every 7-10 days.

Fertilizer can be selected from ready-made commercial compound fertilizers. When choosing fertilizers, pay attention to the nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content. Because climbing roses need a lot of phosphorus and potassium to bloom, it is best to choose a fertilizer with a balanced content of the three elements nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.

Bud stage

When rose buds appear, they need to be cared for more carefully. More fertilizer is needed during this period to ensure normal flowering of roses.

It is best to apply fertilizer once a week during this period. In addition, water the plant frequently to ensure that the soil in the pot has sufficient moisture.

During the growth process of flower buds, you can spray some drugs to increase the resistance of roses and increase their adaptability to the environment. During the bud coloring period, you can spray phosphorus and potassium fertilizers once to make the flowers brighter in color and hang on the branches longer.

Flowering period

After the flowers fade, its need for fertilizer decreases. No fertilizer is needed during this period. Let the rose take a rest and wait for the next flowering period.

If you want to speed up the next flowering period of roses, you can spray some nitrogen fertilizer to help new buds sprout.

Dormant period

Climbing roses enter a dormant period in summer and winter. During this period, the roses basically have no physiological activity and do not require fertilization.

During this period, you should not apply fertilizer at will to disrupt its normal physiological cycle, otherwise it will affect the life of the rose.

During this period, you only need to water the roses on time to ensure the moisture content of the soil, allow the roses to rest well and store nutrients, and when the climate improves, the roses will bloom a large number of bright flowers.
