Everyone who grows roses knows that roses are a "fertilizer glutton" - not that they grow fat, but that they cannot do without fertilizer. So just how much do they love "fertilizer"? Not only do they need base fertilizer, they also require top dressing and regular fertilization. The rose's love of fertilizer can be summed up by the saying "A rose is a flower, and it all depends on fertilizer" - which is quite fitting indeed.

But do you all know? If you want roses to bloom more beautifully during the flowering period, there is a trick. Let me quietly tell everyone: fertilizing during the flowering period makes the blooms beautiful. Perhaps at this point some of you may raise another question - won't fertilizing during the flowering period cause the flowers to age prematurely and fade early? That is a very good question, so let me answer it here and set everyone's mind at ease.

We need to recognize two facts: first, when flowers open they consume a large amount of nutrients; second, the budding of flower buds also consumes a large amount of nutrients. Therefore, to a certain extent, this shows that the flowering period still requires a large amount of fertilizer, and fertilizing during the flowering period makes the flowers bloom more beautifully!

But fertilizing during the flowering period also requires skill - you cannot fertilize casually. What fertilizer to apply? At what time to fertilize? What fertilizing method to use? All of these have their finer points.

What fertilizer to apply during the flowering period? Fertilizing during the flowering period is all about supplementing whatever is lacking, with phosphorus and potassium fertilizers as the main focus, and absolutely avoid over-applying nitrogen fertilizer (highlight!). Otherwise, excessive nitrogen fertilizer may cause bud drop, and you will not often get to see the beautiful roses.

What about the fertilizing method? This also needs attention: when top dressing, avoid foliar feeding and instead use the root-drenching method.

The frequency of fertilizing does not need to be too frequent - once every 1-2 weeks is enough. Otherwise, it easily accumulates and burns the roses to death, and the loss outweighs the gain.

If you want roses to bloom in a bursting pot, you can use the little tricks above to supplement fertilizer for your roses, so that when they are well fed, blooming is as easy as play. What? You cannot believe there is such a good thing? Then go home and try it yourself - practice is the only criterion for testing truth, and what Deng Dada said always makes some sense, right?
