For growth and lush flowering, roses need fertilizing throughout the growing season.
There are many types of fertilizers on the shelves in the store, but not every one will work effectively and will please the roses.
How and what to feed flowers in May
The main nutrients that roses need are nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.
Nitrogen is needed for healthy, vigorous leaf growth. Lush foliage will help roses produce more flowers.
Phosphorus will allow the roots to get stronger faster and will contribute to abundant flowering. If there is not enough phosphorus, the plant will start to shed its leaves.
Potassium will protect the plant during stress and difficult weather conditions. If there is a lack of potassium, the edges of the leaves will quickly turn yellow.
When planting plants, add rotted manure, compost, and bone meal to the holes for better root growth. Then all that remains is to mulch the soil.
Every 3-4 weeks, soft fertilizers are added: liquid humic or a special liquid complex (Agricola).
Until mid-July, if organic matter was not added to the hole when planting, it is enough to feed the roses with mullein at a ratio of 1 part of the fertilizer and 10 parts of water, chicken manure - 1:20.
