How to feed roses in spring: fast growth and recovery after winter are guaranteed
When the winter cover that has protected the rose bushes from freezing for many months is removed, the flowers need to be cut back quite heavily.
After this, do not forget to add fertilizer - this is the only way you can achieve rapid growth of roses and their restoration.
The exact timing of fertilization varies depending on weather conditions.
The main criterion by which you can understand that it is time to start adding nutrients is warm soil that is easy to dig, as well as a daytime temperature of around +10 degrees and above.
As a rule, the right time for applying the first nitrogen fertilizer is at the end of April – beginning of May.
Experienced gardeners advise applying nitrogen fertilizers in the rain – and indeed, you can’t think of a more convenient way. It is enough to scatter 30-50 g of fertilizer around the bushes.
As a top dressing, it is worth using limestone nitrate first, and then calcium nitrate, which will not only encourage roses to grow, but also slightly deacidify the soil.
