Roses need plenty of fertilizer; with enough fertilizer through all four seasons, the blooms will be big and full, winning you the beauty's heart

Roses are extremely prolific bloomers and very common as well. If grown well, they can bloom every month and look absolutely beautiful. So how should we water and fertilize them to make roses bloom more?

In spring, during the growing period of roses, we can fertilize them once or twice a month with a multi-element fertilizer, that is, a fertilizer with a fairly complete range of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, such as our own fermented cake fertilizer, farmyard manure, or organic fertilizer. If you do not have these, you can also use compound fertilizer, to let them quickly grow branches and leaves.

Generally, the blooming period of roses is from April to October, so at this time we should increase the amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to promote flower bud differentiation. When the flower buds are differentiating and forming, we should supplement phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, such as monopotassium phosphate, two to three times a month. When the buds are about to split open, stop fertilizing and let them bloom.

When they are blooming, do not fertilize. After the flowers fade, promptly prune off the spent flowers, then promptly supplement with a multi-element fertilizer to replenish the nutrients consumed by blooming. At this time, fertilize with a multi-element fertilizer. In ordinary times, we should mainly use multi-element fertilizer, because roses bloom, grow branches and grow leaves all at the same time. Roses are very fond of fertilizer, a real fertilizer guzzler. Only with enough fertilizer will they bloom more. It is best to use your own fermented farmyard manure or cake fertilizer and the like, as this kind of fertilizer has a longer lasting effect and ample nutrients, and will not make the potting soil compact.

In late autumn, we can apply some base fertilizer to roses, letting them slowly absorb it during their winter dormancy, so that by spring the rose seedlings will be very robust.
