Roses are flowering plants that thrive with fertilizer. Appropriate fertilization can make roses bloom more beautifully. When potting, do not mix fertilizer into the transplanting soil, but instead, supplement with compost. The compost can be a coarse fertilizer mixture of oil residue and bone meal.

When newly planting roses, add organic fertilizer as a base fertilizer, using oil cakes, bone meal, or decomposed fertilizer. Apply fertilizer every half month, and during fertilization, combine weeding and slightly loosening the soil, which will help roses grow better.

In the dormant winter, you can bury fertilizer in the soil. Add plenty of decomposed leaf mold or compost, mix it thoroughly with the soil, and add 500-700 grams of fermented fertilizer with a nitrogen, phosphorus, and calcium ratio of about 1:3:1 to each rose plant.

Fertilization is primarily with organic fertilizer, applied four times a year. The first application is around Qingming Festival with animal manure water, known as the germination fertilizer, and water promptly; the second application is in late April before flowering with animal manure water to promote more and plump flower buds; the third application is with biological organic fertilizer in May, and the fourth application is with winter-over fertilization in the late autumn and early winter to ensure the safe overwintering of seedlings.

Only a small amount of fertilizer is needed for roses. Excessive fertilization can lead to root rot and burn the roses. We can add a small amount of fertilizer every month based on the size of the pot and the growth of the roses. If the roses are growing well, you can use the water from washing rice to water them, and in this case, there is no need to add other fertilizers.
