Roses still need fertilizing in summer too, so they can bloom beautifully and vibrantly

Right now the South has truly entered furnace weather, even dogs are panting with their tongues out, let alone people. Many gardening enthusiasts are asking, do roses still need fertilizing in summer? Huahua thinks they should still be fertilized appropriately. Although the weather is hot and roses absorb nutrients more slowly, in summer you should still use a thin, dilute fertilizer.

Because the proper nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium components can stimulate the growth cytokine factors in roses, keeping them active. Even when the weather is hot, roses are less likely to go dormant in summer, maintaining a growing state, so that summer roses can still grow vigorously, with sturdy plants, lush green leaves and abundant blooms.

Since roses need to "forage" in summer too, what kind of fertilizer is best to give them? Huahua suggests the simplest methods, so that all gardening enthusiasts can learn them, without getting tired, and can easily harvest summer blooms. Anyway, just a few key points: add something to the water, bury something in the soil.

Add something to the water

The first is to add rose-specific organic fertilizer to the water. There are many choices on the market. Huahua recommends using organic fertilizer fermented purely from plants. For example, Guangxi is rich in sugarcane; after the sugarcane is pressed for sugar, sugarcane bagasse is left over. Dumping this bagasse into rivers causes pollution, but through a special process it can become excellent organic fertilizer, with no hormones at all, especially suitable for the growth and blooming of roses.

Usually, when elderly ladies and gentlemen have nothing to do at home, they don't waste rice-washing water either, using it directly to ferment organic fertilizer. The fermentation method is also simple: just put it in a bottle and leave it for 1-2 weeks, then take it out and dilute it with water, about 30 times, and use it once a week, which is better.

Also, in the South people usually like to use white vinegar to make pickled radish. After eating the radish, the vinegar has become much milder, and using it again to pickle radish won't taste very good either, yet pouring it away feels a bit wasteful. So at this time the best solution is to dilute it 20 times, then use it to water roses. It can sterilize, disinfect, and improve the soil environment.

Bury something in the soil

When growing roses at home, the potting soil is relatively less breathable and well-draining, so you need to manually bury some materials into it. For example, the shells left over from eating nuts, such as peanut shells, walnut shells, or sunflower seed shells, can be rinsed once with clean water, then dried in the sun. When potting up the roses, you can mix them into the rose potting soil. This way the potting soil becomes more breathable and loose, and the shells contain many trace elements and calcium, which are indispensable for sturdy rose plants. But you must get the ratio right; generally putting in 1/10 of the whole pot of soil is enough.
