Fertilize roses like this in autumn, and they will keep blooming until winter with flowers as big as a bowl

[0032]Fertilize roses like this in autumn, and the flowers will keep blooming until winter, as big as a bowl!

These days, gardening friends in Lanyao's reader group are all showing off beautiful photos of their roses. Autumn really is a great time for roses to burst into bloom, and many roses that bloom in autumn have relatively standard flower shapes and colors, no longer as ugly beyond belief as summer flowers.

In fact, as long as they are managed well in autumn, roses can bloom for several flushes, and can maintain standard flower shapes, with large flowers and true colors.

Autumn Fertilizer Management for Roses

If you want roses to keep blooming, with large and beautiful flowers, you need to pay attention to supplying sufficient fertilizer and water. But fertilizing roses in autumn has its particularities: fertilize well, and the roses grow vigorously and bloom abundantly; fertilize poorly, and it can also cause damage to the roses.

1. Apply more long-lasting fertilizer

In the early stage, roses enter a rapid growth period, and at this time they need a large amount of fertilizer and water, so at the beginning of autumn you should apply a long-lasting fertilizer once.

You can use fermented organic fertilizer, such as chicken manure, sheep manure, etc., or you can use long-lasting slow-release fertilizer.

Long-lasting fertilizer can continuously supply fertilizer for rose growth and ensure the healthy growth of roses. Using more base fertilizer is also beneficial for improving soil structure, keeping the soil loose and airy, and providing a good environment for rose growth. It can be applied once a month, by shallow burying along the edge of the pot.

2. Use less quick-acting fertilizer

At the very beginning of autumn, you can frequently supplement quick-acting fertilizer to ensure sufficient fertilizer and water, but after the weather gradually turns cool, the growth rate of roses slows down. At this time, you should control the use of quick-acting fertilizer. Using too much quick-acting fertilizer, when the roses grow slowly and cannot consume it, can easily cause fertilizer damage.

3. Use more organic fertilizer

If you want to grow roses, Lanyao suggests you use more fermented organic fertilizer. Organic fertilizer contains trace elements, and roses have relatively high requirements for some trace elements. If inorganic fertilizer is used for a long time, it can easily cause a deficiency of trace elements.

Organic fertilizer has comprehensive nutrients and contains a large amount of organic matter, which is more beneficial to the growth of roses.

4. Do not use concentrated fertilizer

No matter what the circumstances, concentrated fertilizer must be strictly avoided when fertilizing. If the concentration of fertilizer is too high, it will cause fertilizer damage to roses, and in severe cases it can even cause the death of the roses.

So do not use concentrated fertilizer or fertilize too frequently just because you want the roses to grow fast.

Previously, in Lanyao's reader group, a gardening friend kept applying phosphorus and potassium fertilizer in order to make the roses bloom early. As a result, there was too much phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, and the roses developed the problem of new buds stopping growth. So applying a single fertilizer excessively is also not advisable.

When fertilizing, you must remember these four words: going beyond the limit is as bad as falling short!

5. Use acidic water appropriately

Roses like slightly acidic soil, so in ordinary care, you can often give roses a little acidic fertilizer water.

We can collect the peels and fruit cores left over from eating fruit, put them into a plastic bottle, add water, and leave them in the sun to ferment. After fermentation, it is a very good organic acidic fertilizer water. Using this water often to water roses can maintain the slightly acidic state of the potting soil, which is very beneficial to rose growth.
