What fertilizer to use for roses

1. Selection of fertilizer

When fertilizing roses, you can use ammonium nitrogen or nitrate nitrogen fertilizers, but do not use urea. Generally, newly planted or transplanted plants can use loose loess containing humus, mixed with an appropriate amount of bean cake or a little chicken manure fertilizer. This way, they can absorb various nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers from the soil and grow vigorously.

When fertilizing it, it is best to choose nitrogen-based fertilizers, which can be bought on the market. Or you can make it yourself, using chicken manure, pigeon manure, fresh fish intestines, bean cakes, etc. as base fertilizer, and apply it after fermentation. In addition, please note that it is best to apply this fertilizer in January or February.

2. Fertilization Methods

Fertilize frequently during the growing season, preferably once a week, to promote normal growth and early flowering. But be careful not to use too much, apply thin fertilizer frequently to avoid root rot. Before flowering, increase the amount of phosphorus and potassium to make the flowers bigger and more numerous. Before winter, apply a high concentration of fertilizer to ensure nutrient availability, and stop fertilizing after winter.
