Experienced gardeners know that roses need to be fed early enough to bloom profusely throughout the season.
As a rule, flowers are fertilized as soon as the snow melts.
How to feed roses at the very beginning of spring
It is best to use ammonium nitrate. The fertilizer is applied undissolved, but after high-quality watering. It is worth spending about 20 grams of the product on each rose, advises landscape designer and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti".
If for some reason you don't want to use saltpeter, you can find a replacement among natural fertilizers. Experienced gardeners, for example, use mullein. It is diluted with water in equal proportions and added to the soil near the rose.
Some use bird droppings. However, its concentration should be lower. Therefore, three parts of water are taken for one part of droppings. The fertilizer is applied in the same way as mullein.
But in May it will be possible to add superphosphate. Ten grams of fertilizer are diluted in a bucket of water and the roses are watered.
