What is the best way to feed roses in the summer so that they are beautiful and bloom for a long time?
If you feed your roses properly in spring and summer and take proper care of them, they will delight you with their lush and bright flowers.
Roses love phosphorus fertilizers, then the flowers on the bush grow lush and have many buds. The root system also develops well and becomes strong.
This fertilizer can be applied throughout the entire period of rose growth. The fertilizer should be changed from time to time.
For a large number of buds, potassium is added, and nitrogen fertilizers help to increase green mass.
Nitrogen fertilizers are applied little by little; due to excessive amounts of nitrogen, the bushes become vulnerable to diseases and may not survive the winter.
Don't forget about supplementing with iron, boron, manganese and magnesium.
How to apply fertilizers?
You can add fertilizer to a hole that needs to be dug next to the bush. Then fill the hole and moisten it.
You can spray with organic and mineral fertilizers.
Organic fertilizer:
Fewer weeds grow, the soil becomes more fertile and worms appear, loosening the soil.
- Place compost or peat mulch around the bush, then the roots will grow better.
- In spring and during flowering, feed the roses with chicken manure. Fresh manure is dissolved with water in proportions of 1 to 20, mixed, and left for 5 days. The finished infusion must be dissolved with water in proportions of 1 to 3 before use.
- The first top dressing is made from cow manure diluted with water in proportions of 1 to 10, then leave the infusion for a week. Before use, dissolve with water in a ratio of 1 to 2. Feed the roses with an infusion of weeds. Fill the tub with grass, add a couple of tablespoons of soda ash and water. When the solution has fermented, strain and feed the roses with the dissolved infusion with water in proportions of 3 to 10.
Mineral supplements:
- As soon as the snow melts, feed the bushes with ammonium nitrate.
- In May, feed with phosphorus-potassium fertilizers.
- In July, mix 500 grams of chicken manure with 10 grams of nitrophoska and feed the bushes.
- Don't forget to feed your roses with ash.
- To ensure that the roses bloom even better next year, feed the bushes in the fall with the following mixture: dissolve 15 grams of superphosphate and 16 grams of potassium monophosphate in a bucket of water.
- You can dissolve a tablespoon of superphosphate and the same amount of potassium sulfate in a bucket of water. Then dilute the solution with 50 liters of water and water the bushes.
Complex feeding:
It is easy to use and contains all the useful elements that a rose needs. But you should not apply complex fertilizers to bushes that you have recently transplanted. Observe the proportions so as not to harm
