No plant can decorate a garden as much as rose bushes. And in order for them to bloom lushly and colorfully, the plant needs to be fed.
The main thing is to decide on the nutritional supplements that the plant needs at a certain stage of growth and development.
We will tell you what you need to feed roses with in the spring so that you can enjoy flowering all summer long.
First, ammonium nitrate
This fertilizer is applied after the snow has grown and the ground has thawed. Mineral fertilizers are used, of which No. 1 is ammonium nitrate.
The consumption rate is as follows: approximately 20-30 grams of the substance are added per 1 square meter of soil.
Secondly, phosphorus
This is the main substance that determines what future flower buds will be like, as well as how many of them there will be in general.
Phosphorus can be added not only in spring, but throughout the season. You can get carried away with folk fertilizers, but you should remember that it will not be possible to accurately calculate the dosage of this substance using fish waste, which summer residents like to bury under roses.
Therefore, 10 grams of superphosphate and potassium sulfate should be dissolved in 10 liters of water and this fertilizer should be used in May and then in June.
Thirdly, wood ash
Wood ash should be added in July. It will help to restore the soil pH balance. You can prepare a solution for root feeding by adding 100 grams of ash to 10 liters of water.
