What are the best types of fertilizer for rose gardening?
Roses require a lot of nutrients and will demand an appropriate fertilizer if it’s meant to thrive. Fertilizer should be applied when leaves start to form and again after the first batch of flowers disappears. Special rose fertilizers are made and can be purchased online or in many nurseries. A fertilizer high in potassium and phosphorus will make the rose bush more winter-hardy while avoiding any fertilizer with nitrogen before the first frost will encourage growth at the proper time.
