Fertilizing Roses
Roses need consistent fertilizer to keep them healthy, bushy and full of blooms. Using a common fertilizer such as Miracle Grow Rose Fertilizer will keep them looking great. Fertilize according to the recommended instructions.
Avoid fertilizing in the winter. Fertilizer can cause the roses to 'wake-up' and promote new growth while they should be dormant. Tender new growth can be injured by hard freezes and cause damage to the entire bush.
Epsom Salt is another option for fertilizing roses. The magnesium sulphate works wonders on the roses. Scratch in 2 tablespoons of Epsom Salt near the base of the plant. Do not touch the base of the plant with the Epsom Salt to prevent burning. You can also mix with 1 gallon of water to make a liquid feed.
