Fertilizing roses is an essential part of rose care, and it’s important to do it correctly to ensure the plants stay healthy and produce abundant blooms. Here’s how to fertilize roses effectively using Perfect Rose fertilizer:
Step 1: Choose the Right Fertilizer: Roses require a balanced fertilizer that provides nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (N-P-K) along with micronutrients such as magnesium and iron. Perfect Rose fertilizer is specifically formulated for roses and is designed to provide a balanced nutrient profile throughout the growing season.
Step 2: Mix the Fertilizer: For potted roses, mix 1 heaping tablespoon (15 ml) of Perfect Rose fertilizer per 1.25 gallons of water. For outdoor garden roses, mix 2 scoops (2 tablespoons) per 5 liters of water. The fertilizer dissolves easily and is applied as a liquid solution, making it convenient for both potted and garden-grown roses.
Step 3: Apply the Fertilizer: For outdoor garden roses, apply about 5 liters of the fertilizer solution per 0.5 square meters (5.4 square feet). For potted roses, apply the solution evenly around the base of the plant, making sure not to get it directly on the leaves. Apply approximately half a gallon of the solution per rose plant.
Step 4: Water After Fertilizing: After applying the fertilizer, water the roses thoroughly. This helps to activate the fertilizer and ensures that the nutrients reach the roots. Consistent moisture is important for nutrient uptake, so be sure to water your roses regularly, especially during dry spells.
Step 5: Repeat Every 7-14 Days: Roses are heavy feeders and benefit from regular fertilization. For best results, apply Perfect Rose fertilizer every 7-14 days throughout the growing season. This regular feeding schedule will keep your roses healthy, promote vigorous growth, and ensure a continuous bloom cycle.
By following these steps, you’ll provide your roses with the nutrients they need to thrive and produce beautiful blooms all season long.
