Fertilizers for Roses

Fertilizers for roses are crucial in providing the right nutrients for plants. Starting with the planting process, get in the habit of feeding all garden plants on a regular schedule.

After digging the hole for a new rose, mix in some good fertilizer or potting soil with the soil. Then place the plant in the hole and proceed as with any newly planted flower. Water well and watch your garden flourish.

In order to provide the right mix of fertilizer you’ll first need to determine the soil’s pH. Roses prefer a pH of 6.5 to 7.0. Most garden supply stores will have inexpensive test kits and can offer advice on testing and adjusting the soil. Add lime to soils with high acidity, and add sulphur to soils with a higher alkaline content.
