Top dressing of roses during tying buds. Rose fertilizer for abundant blooms and between blooms
Lush flowering of roses, this is largely the result of proper feeding, which also needs to be carried out in a timely manner. Let's start in order, that is, from the first year of growing these beautiful flowers. For this year, top dressing should not be too intense, rather modest. Roses will need to be fed 4 times during the entire growing season. When the roses in your garden have already settled in and the 2nd year of their “adult” life has passed, then you already need to feed them fully.
Feeding roses in spring and throughout the year. Basic moments
It is clear that roses need to be fed for their further growth. rapid growth and, of course, for the next lush flowering. Otherwise, it simply makes no sense to grow them in the garden or in the flower bed. But, often we make mistakes, feeding various plants. One such mistake is fresh manure or bird droppings. These two excellent fertilizers (with their skillful use) are thoughtlessly applied by many, planting very young seedlings in the spring. Such "youth" these fertilizers are simply contraindicated, they will die from them. Roses love organic, but not in a "live" form. Such fertilizers must be properly prepared. You will need to make a slurry from any of these varieties of fertilizer and dilute this slurry in 10 liters of the main component of any liquid top dressing - water. If you do this with bird droppings, then do not forget to ferment it before this procedure, for 10 days. When you have this nutrient composition ready, you will need to carefully water your roses with it. This is done only at the root. If drops (or even entire “rivers”) of such top dressing fall on leaves or stems, then flies can start there. It is clear that bird droppings or the same manure do not smell very pleasant. The problem of this smell can be solved quite simply. On the soil under the flowers that you watered, you just need to pour chalk, or instead of it wood ash and after that, even loosen. You need to loosen centimeters 5 in depth.
Pig manure should NOT be used to feed roses at all! He will simply burn out all your roses to you and after that they will definitely die.
What do roses need when feeding?
All plants need certain components that help them grow successfully. As for roses, most of these components that we will now voice are necessary for other plants, they can be said to be basic.
Nitrogen is the substance that directly ensures the growth of almost any plant. Roses, of course, also need it, and especially acutely after such a painful procedure as pruning. In addition, he will not interfere with them for the formation and development of completely new shoots, and before re-flowering occurs. Nitrogen needs to be applied only at certain times. For roses, this is usually the beginning of the month of May and beyond, until the very end of July (you can even capture the beginning of August). Where is nitrogen present? And these are various drugs whose task is to stimulate growth, besides them, there is a lot of it in liquid organics, in urea (how to use, read here) and in sodium humate.
Phosphorus. This component largely helps to form strong shoots on roses. In addition, it is the basis of intense, yes, and better flowering. The terms of its introduction are very extensive in time - from June to September. There is a lot of phosphorus in double superphosphate (the name, as they say, obliges) or in simple superphosphate.
Potassium directly helps roses to form buds and, accordingly, also affects flowering in the future. It is also impossible to fully prepare roses for winter without this component. Potassium is present in many preparations. Its presence there is again clear from their name. The same potassium sulfate (potassium sulfate) or its "relative" - potassium chloride.
Calcium helps roses in acidic soils. It practically neutralizes such soils. That alkaline environment, which calcium largely forms, gives a very good conditions for various beneficial bacteria. It is they who are engaged in the decomposition of fertilizers, both organic and even mineral. There is a lot of calcium in fairly simple and accessible substances for many of us. This same chalk, but besides him slaked lime, well-known to us wood ash, dolomite flour and a simple fertilizer of an organic nature - "Deoxidizer".
Microelements. The word is quite capacious and voluminous, and includes a lot of useful things. For roses, this is primarily iron, and besides it, manganese and boron. The entire growing season, roses must receive all these components. If you do not give manganese or boron to your roses, then you will simply greatly reduce their immunity. "Agricola roses" is a good option to ensure that your roses have all these trace elements. In addition, there is a drug related to him, with a speaking name - "Agricola for flowering plants". When to use it, I think you understand. In general, all these listed trace elements can be found in any complex (in other words - in complete) fertilizers. In addition, wood ash is also very rich in many components.
Top dressing of roses by the root method in the first year of their cultivation
Roses need to be fertilized in May. This can be done in its 1st decade or even in its 2nd. Here you will need 10 liters of water. It is in this amount that we fall asleep fertilizers. At this stage, it will be urea, and the Agricola Rosa already mentioned by us or its substitute - Agricola for flowering plants. We need both of these components in a tablespoon.
We are waiting for the 1st decade of June and the roses will again need to be fed. We take the same amount of water, the same urea (a teaspoon) will be diluted in it, but already with Nitrofoska (a tablespoon).
The end of June will come, we take up the 3rd feeding of our roses. Water is still in the same amount, but now we need double superphosphate (tablespoon). If your superphosphate is not double, but simple, then we pour it already 2 tablespoons. And the same 2 tablespoons of the Agricola Rosa preparation.
Top dressing number 4 should be carried out in July, or rather in its 2nd half. Again, 10 liters of water and we will already need phosphorus-potassium fertilizers for them (the same 2 tablespoons).
As for the consumption of all these solutions, it will be the same for all types of top dressing and depends mainly on the size of the rose bushes themselves.
- if the bush is very small, then it is 2 or 3 liters;
- the average needs more - 5 liters;
- big even more - from 6 to 7 liters.
Top dressing of roses by the root method in the second year of their cultivation
A year will pass, your roses will become strong and beautiful, but this does not mean that in the 2nd year of their life it is not necessary to feed them at all. This is a must to do.
All these dressing recipes that were given above are based on modern types fertilizers. If you simply have nowhere to buy such fertilizers, or you don’t want to buy them, then there are always “folk alternatives” to all this. modern drugs. They are also very effective, because natural, simple organics are used here, as well as mineral fertilizers, which are more accessible to us.
In order not to repeat myself in the future, I will say again that the basis of all these solutions is the same 1-liter of water. Next, on different stages we will stir the various components there.
When you fertilize, always pay attention to rainfall, or rather to their total amount. During the dry season, all top dressings should be liquid only. But when there is a lot of rain, it is better to just scatter them in a dry form right around each bush. Again, when it rains, you need to take into account their peculiarity. They simply wash out the fertilizers we apply, so the rate can be safely increased in such weather, by 1.5 times or even 2 times. Also, because of the rains, it is necessary to apply the same dry fertilizers with organic matter in increased volumes to sandy soils .
We feed roses foliarly
The leaves of many plants can also very well absorb substances useful to them. Roses do this just fine. Well, this type of top dressing is suitable for weakened bushes (their leaves are very pale, often small, and the stems are rather weak), as well as young or rather old. It is best to “feed” roses in this way every 10 days. As for preparations, for this type of feeding roses, it is a good option to use Bud. It regulates growth very effectively, and besides that, it can also stimulate the overall development of the whole plant. It can be applied at any stage. The composition of the drug is very rich in macro - as well as in microelements, it is this composition that determines its overall effectiveness. In addition, "Bud" does not pose any danger to insects and animals.
Using Bud is very easy. 10 g (this is a whole bag) is dissolved in the amount of water already familiar to us (again, 10 liters) and simply sprayed with a bush. It consumes about 3 liters per fairly large area, 15 square meters.
For this kind of top dressing, all the same related preparations "Agricola Rosa" and the same preparation are suitable, but only for flowering plants. They are to some extent universal, that is, they are suitable for both the root feeding method and the foliar one. We take any of these "Agrikol" a tablespoon and strengthen it with the same amount of urea (also for 10 liters of water).
Foliar top dressing should be done during the day, only overcast. Or, in the morning, and also in the evening, when it's hot. In the heat of roses, you can simply burn with this type of top dressing.
And here is another useful video where they will tell you how to feed roses and how to do it right. We look.

The combined use of organic and mineral fertilizers very efficient. Organic, of course, is more useful. It not only nourishes the plants, but also improves the structure and properties of the soil. But with the introduction of increased doses of mineral fertilizers in the ground, excessive strong solutions salts that inhibit root development. Here organic substances come to the rescue, absorbing some of these compounds and gradually giving them to plants.
The main rule when applying mineral fertilizers is everything is good in moderation! Despite the disadvantages, the benefits are obvious. Organic fertilizers act slowly, and mineral 0 quickly. Therefore, for the most better conditions food suitable option when both groups are included.
Help: If you are well refueled landing pit, then there is no need to fertilize roses in the year of planting. Young plants benefit from foliar feeding and potash feeding in autumn to prepare for wintering.
Dry top dressing should be carried out only after heavy watering or rain. No need to pour fertilizer into the center of the bush, step back 10-15 cm, then you need to water the ground again.
Heavy clay soils with a high content of organic matter retain nutrients better than sandy roses poor in humus, so clay roses can be fed less often. If the summer is rainy, then the plants need to be watered more often, and the recommended doses should be increased.
During flowering, roses do not feed.
MINERAL FERTILIZERS.
Nitrogen.
Nitrogen is needed to actively increase shoots and lush foliage. It is consumed by roses in in large numbers during a period of intense growth. Nitrogen fertilizers: ammonium nitrate, urea. When do we need new shoots to grow most actively? Of course, in spring and in the first half of summer. Do we need new shoots in the fall? No. One of essential conditions successful overwintering - well-ripened shoots, and those that grew at the end of summer and autumn will remain for the winter with unripened wood and, most likely, will die. If there is moisture under cover, they will begin to rot, as a result of which the entire bush may die.
With an excess of nitrogen, roses develop rapidly, but flowering is delayed: the number of flowers decreases, roses fatten and therefore are more likely to be exposed to fungal diseases. The highest concentration of nitrogen in young leaves and shoots. Juicy young foliage attracts aphids, so overfed roses suffer the most from it!
To prepare a solution of ammonium nitrate or urea, take 1 tablespoon of fertilizer per 10 liters of water.
Help: Fatty shoots - annual shoots, the length and thickness of which exceeds the average indicators of the variety. Such shoots usually take a lot of strength from the plant, do not branch willingly, do not bloom, and spoil the appearance. If it is not climbing rose and if by July the shoot has not bloomed, it is recommended to cut off such shoots by a third or more.
Phosphoric
Phosphorus helps abundant flowering. But the most interesting thing for us is that it helps to accelerate the development of roses. What does this mean? Under the influence of phosphorus in the cell sap, the content of soluble carbohydrates increases, the ripening of shoots is ensured, and, as a result, the freezing point decreases. This is exactly what we need for a successful wintering of our roses. Phosphate fertilizers: double superphosphate, superphosphate, ammophos.
Potash
With a lack of potassium, plants are more easily affected by diseases, therefore, potassium-phosphorus supplements are recommended for prevention (100 grams of superphosphate plus 30 grams of potassium sulfate per 10 liters of water). In addition, this substance helps roses retain water, and during the heat, the leaves do not fade so quickly. Potassium together with phosphorus affect the abundance of flowering and even the color of plants. It is good for them to feed roses during the budding period.
Potassium also contributes to the maturation of wood, increasing the content of proteins and carbohydrates. And the most interesting thing: it enhances the movement of sugars from the leaves to other organs of the plant, and due to their accumulation in the cell sap of the shoots, the freezing point of the rose decreases.
What kind of sugars are so wonderful? We all know that cell sap consists of water and various substances. What happens when the temperature drops? Water freezes and turns into crystals. Most common cause of winter death garden plants- freezing associated with the formation of ice crystals in the cells. Sugars protect a large volume of intracellular water from this, significantly reduce the amount of ice formed. Now it’s clear why experienced rose growers advise covering roses from heavy rains in the fall. Shoots should not gain too much moisture. And sugars increase the viscosity of protoplasm and reduce the amount of water in the cells; thereby significantly reducing the amount of ice formed.
Now the "rule of measure". Roses overfed with potassium fatten, bloom late, and undeveloped buds rot.
The most common potash fertilizers are: potassium chloride, potassium sulfate, potassium nitrate, potassium magnesia.
The use of potassium chloride is not recommended, despite the fact that this is a fertilizer with the highest content of the substance. This top dressing also contains chlorine, which inhibits the development of roses. Most often I use potassium sulfate or potassium magnesia. To prepare the solution, take: 30 grams of potassium sulfate per 10 liters of water or 1 tablespoon of potassium magnesia per 10 liters of water.
trace elements
Often it is not necessary to use trace elements for fertilizer, it is enough to feed the roses once or twice per season. The most effective top dressing- foliar.
Foliar fertilization is often much better than regular fertilization, especially when the plant is weakened or weather leave much to be desired. Its advantage is in the rate of assimilation of trace elements by plants. It is necessary to spray until the leaves are completely wet, and it is worth processing both sides. This should be done in cloudy weather or in the evening.
Foliar top dressing
Foliar top dressing is recommended to be carried out with the help of micro and macro elements. Nitrogen and potash fertilizers are sufficient to dissolve in cold water with stirring shortly before spraying. Superphosphate must be infused for a day. For foliar top dressing, it is better to choose dry, but not hot weather.
Foliar top dressing can only be done with a freshly prepared solution.
They do not salinize the soil (ballast, which is present in mineral fertilizers), do not destroy soil microorganisms and earthworms. Foliar top dressing is applied only in the evening, so that drops of fertilizer do not dry out on the leaves for as long as possible. It should not be carried out in wet or cold weather when heavy dew is expected. Foliar top dressing is especially dangerous when there are already pockets of black spot on the leaves.
For foliar feeding of roses, a complex liquid fertilizer for indoor flowers: it, in addition to the main ones nutrients, contains all the necessary microfertilizers. But in no case should the spring application of prefabricated compost or humus be excluded from dressing roses.
ORGANIC FERTILIZERS
(from personal experience Stefan Fedorovich Nedyalkov)
Organic fertilizers contain plant nutrients mainly in the form of organic compounds. These include manure, composts, peat, green manure and others. Roses need organic fertilizer, but be aware that fresh manure can burn their fresh roots, so use only rotted or semi-rotted manure.
- chicken infusion. I do this: divorce chicken manure in a 50 liter container. The proportions depend on the freshness of the manure. Typically, this is 1:20; if the litter lies for a long time, then the divorce is 1:10. For convenience, I use plastic jars from barbecues. I pour 2.5 cans of litter into the bath and fill it with water. I add superphosphate, approximately 500 gr and a liter bucket of ash, I insist for a week. For irrigation, I breed 3 liters of infusion in a bucket of water.
- Cow infusion. For 50 liters of water I take 5 liters of manure, 500 grams of superphosphate and a liter bucket of ash, I insist for a week. For irrigation, I plant 5 liters of infusion in a bucket of water.
I prepare slurry for feeding roses in the following way: I fill the container with 80% fresh mullein, fill it to the top with water, add 100 g of wood ash for every 10 liters. Stir daily for two weeks. Since nitrogen predominates in slurry, phosphorus and potash fertilizers must be added to top dressing.
Except all the roses need chemical elements, slurry also contains bacteria that mineralize inaccessible to plants organic compounds converting them into a digestible form.
To feed roses, I use the following solutions (10 liters per 1 sq. M):
- the first feeding (in May): 9 l of water, 1 kg of mullein, 20-30 g of superphosphate, 15-20 g of potassium sulfate;
- second feeding (in July): 9 liters of water, 1 kg of mullein, 20-25 grams of superphosphate, 25-30 grams of potassium sulfate.
When feeding roses, it is better to apply slurry to the soil, and all mineral fertilizers - in the form of foliar top dressing on the leaves. To do this, you need to use doses three times less.
- herbal infusion. If you do not have the opportunity to purchase manure, you yourself will make organic fertilizers from plants. I prefer nettles, but just about any weed top that can be used before the seeds are ripe will do.
I fill a large plastic bucket of 10 liters almost completely with green nettle mass. In the course is the foliage, and the stems, and even the roots. I cut the nettle into smaller pieces with secateurs. The mass is tightly packed into two-thirds of the bucket. I add 100 g of superphosphate (every other time I use urea instead), a glass of ash, pour it with water and leave it for a week. In the sun, the fermentation process is accelerated. For watering under the root, I use an unstrained infusion (1 liter per 10 liters of water), for spraying the leaves, I filter the infusion and dilute it immediately before use (0.5 liters of infusion per 10 liters of water).
FEEDING SCHEME
APRIL (late April - early May). If the weather allows, after pruning the rose, you can feed the roses with nitrogen fertilizers for the first time. I prefer ammonium nitrate or urea. You can also use spring Kemira (now Fertik's trademark - approx. Qaz1971). Proportion: 1 tablespoon of fertilizer per 10 liters of water. If in dry form, then 1 tablespoon under a bush, followed by loosening and watering.
After a week, feed the roses with organic fertilizers: half a bucket of rotted manure under each bush. Stepping back from the center of the bush 10-15 cm, make a wide furrow with a chopper and lay fertilizer, followed by loosening and watering. In the spring I do only dry top dressing, in the summer - only liquid.
MAY. If you didn't fertilize your roses in April, do so in early May. In mid-May, use mineral fertilizers with a high nitrogen content: ammonium nitrate, urea. Proportion: 1 tbsp per 10 liters of water.
If I have the opportunity, I replace the above fertilizers with Greenworld mineral granular fertilizer. After that, I water the roses with a solution of organic fertilizer: infusion of mullein, chicken manure or green manure (two two-liter buckets for each bush).
JUNE. In early June, when rose budding occurs, it is necessary to use calcium nitrate and a solution of organic fertilizers (infusions of mullein, chicken manure or green manure).
This month it is good to do foliar feeding: alternate double superphosphate with potassium nitrate, ash infusion, mullein infusion and trace elements.
Before flowering (in mid-June), it is necessary to fertilize roses with potassium sulfate and magnesium sulfate or potassium magnesia. You can also use sodium humate. Under each bush, 2 liters of solution is enough.
JULY. After flowering and pruning, roses must be fed with a universal mineral fertilizer with a high content of potassium and phosphorus (for example, Kemira universal; proportion: 1 tablespoon per 10 liters of water) and a solution of organic fertilizer (infusion of mullein, chicken manure or green fertilizer)
It is also worth using foliar top dressing: double superphosphate with potassium nitrate, ash infusion, mullein infusion, trace elements.
AUGUST. In early August, for the last time, feed the roses with organic infusion. After two weeks, use potassium phosphate fertilizers. A week later - potassium sulfate. Also use foliar top dressing: ash infusion, micronutrient fertilizers, double superphosphate.
SEPTEMBER. At the beginning of the month, roses can be fed with potassium magnesia.
Based on the materials of the book Tadeusz Yu.E., Nedyalkov S.F. "Roses in your garden: choose, care for, enjoy." 2011
A blooming rose bush on the site is the dream of any summer resident. Despite the capricious disposition and sharp thorns, the rose was and remains the queen among all flowers. But in order for the plant to please the eye with lush flowers, it needs proper care. Along with the right location and timely watering great importance has top dressing of roses in the spring, during the budding period. Fertilizers are either organic or inorganic. Before proceeding with the procedure, it is necessary to figure out when and how to properly feed these delicate flowers.
- 1. Phosphorus. The most important micronutrient The number and size of buds and the development of the root system directly depend on its amount in the soil. Phosphate fertilizers can be applied all year round, but in the spring, during the formation of buds, this must be done.
- 2. Potassium. Like phosphorus, this metal affects the number of buds.
- 3. Magnesium. It is brought in in the spring at the time of tying the buds. Directly affects the brightness of future petals.
- 4. Nitrogen. Promotes the formation and development of green mass. With a lack of nitrogen, the rose will have strong shoots, but few flowers and leaves. You have to be careful with this stuff. Fertilize them with roses better in spring, as plants saturated with nitrogen become too sensitive to cold weather. An excess of nitrogen is harmful: the resistance of the crop to pests and diseases decreases, and the flowering time is delayed. Therefore, nitrogen-containing top dressing is done only twice: in spring and summer, but in no case later than the first half of August.
- 5. Iron. Serves for the prevention of chlorosis in flowers. You can apply iron-containing top dressing throughout the year.
- 1. Carbamide (urea). source of nitrogen. Apply in a diluted form, pouring rose bushes with a solution.
- 2. Potassium nitrate (potassium nitrate). Source of potassium and nitrogen. To prepare the solution, you need 10 g of fertilizer per bucket of water.
- 3. Ammonium nitrate (ammonium nitrate). The most popular nitrogen-containing fertilizer. It is highly soluble in water, so it is advisable to prepare a nutrient solution and water the flowers with it.
- 4. Nitrophoska. Source of phosphorus, potassium and nitrogen. It is used in dissolved form: 10 g of top dressing per bucket of water.
- 5. Azofoska. Like the previous version, a source of potassium, phosphorus and nitrogen, but in slightly different concentrations of active ingredients. To feed the roses, you will need to prepare a solution.
- 6. Nitroammophoska. A source of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, an improved formula of nitrophoska or azofoska. In this fertilizer, nutrients are presented in the most digestible forms. Top dressing should be applied dry to the soil before the snow melts.
- 7. Superphosphate. source of phosphorus. It is used diluted (10 g per 10 liters of water).
- 8. Potassium sulfate. Source of potassium.
- 1. Chicken manure. This top dressing is recommended twice a year: in early spring, during the period of active development, and during flowering. Chicken manure can burn the roots, so do not exceed the dosage or apply pure manure to the soil. To prepare a nutrient solution, you need to dilute fresh litter with water in a ratio of 1:20, and rotted - 1:10 and leave to infuse for five days. The resulting infusion is again mixed with water in a ratio of 1:3.
- 2. Cow dung. To prepare the solution, pour it with water in a ratio of 1:10. Leave for a week to infuse, and then dilute again with water in a ratio of 1: 2. It is better to start feeding roses when it is already warm. In cold weather useful material are poorly digested.
- 3. Infusion of weeds. Such fertilizers can be used as an additional source of organic matter. Fill a bucket or any other container with 75% finely chopped tops, cut weeds or any other greens. Add two to three tablespoons of soda ash and pour into a container of water: 2/3 of the total volume. Leave for at least a week until the infusion ferments well. Strain and dilute with water in a ratio of 3:10. Spray the rose bushes with the resulting liquid. The infusion should not be prepared during the insemination of weeds.
- 4. Peat and humus. Top dressing with peat or compost is done in the fall, before covering the plants for the winter. Spread organic matter around the bushes, this will speed up the development of the root system for the next year.
- foliar;
- root.
- 1. Watering the bush with a fertilizer solution.
- 2. Application of dry fertilizer under the bush.
- 3. Fertilizing the soil around the plant. To do this, a shallow groove is dug around the stem in the form of a circle with a radius of 15 cm. Fertilizers mixed with black soil must be placed in it and sprinkled with earth. During rain or watering, fertilizers will dissolve, gradually enriching the soil with nutrients.
- 1. Phosphorus fertilizer. Prepare a mixture of 16 g of monophosphate and 15 g of superphosphate and dissolve in 10 liters of water.
- 2. Potassium-phosphorus fertilizer. In 10 liters of water, dissolve one tablespoon of superphosphate and potassium sulfate.
- 3. Yeast top dressing. For 10 l warm water take two tablespoons of sugar and 10 g of dry yeast. After two hours, add another 50 liters of water and water the roses.

Inorganic (mineral) fertilizers
Basically, inorganic fertilizers include salts of various metals. They enrich the soil with microelements, which favorably affects both flowering and general development plants. The lack of certain substances leads to a slowdown in growth, a small number of buds. The following substances play the greatest role for roses:
It is advisable to feed young plants more with organic matter, while mature bushes need mineral supplements.
The names of the most commonly used fertilizers in cottages or gardens:
As an additional source of iron, it was previously recommended to use inkstone. But in it, the metal very quickly passes into a form that is not absorbed by roses. Therefore, it is best to use a complex fertilizer containing iron in its composition. The same applies to magnesium. The lack of these trace elements can be seen in the condition of the leaves: they become thin and turn yellow.
organic fertilizers
Often gardeners get too carried away complex top dressing, forgetting about folk remedies. However, it is organic fertilizers that most fully enrich the soil, acting much softer. Organics reduce the number of weeds and attract earthworms, which loosen the soil and enrich it with oxygen.
The best effect is achieved by the simultaneous use of organic and inorganic fertilizers. Mineral supplements- this is the main food, organic matter helps them to be absorbed. Experienced gardeners first, mineral fertilizers are applied, and then watered with organic ones.
Use:
Cow and chicken droppings will be especially useful for young plants: root system will develop faster.
rose feeding schedule
For lush flowering, top dressing should be carried out at least twice a year: in spring, during active growth, and in the fall to recuperate and enrich the soil for the next year. Roses can be fed more often, especially with solutions containing phosphorus.
An approximate fertilizer application schedule is shown in the table:
| Feeding time | Fertilizer |
| Early spring, just after the snow has melted | For the first spring feeding young plant you need to take organic matter, for example, chicken manure or cow dung. Adult bushes will benefit from ammonium nitrate (20-30 g per 1 square meter soil) |
| May | Fertilizers with phosphorus and potassium, for example, superphosphate and potassium sulfate (10 g of each substance per 10 liters of water). You need to make it under the root, you can together, you can separately. Needed to ensure abundant flowering |
| June | Repeat feeding with potassium and phosphorus |
| July | Repeat potash and phosphorus top dressing, plus you can add organic matter to it: 500 g of chicken manure. Useful in July will be fertilizer nitrophoska (nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus) - 10 g per 10 liters of water |
| July | To normalize the acidity of the soil, it will be useful to add wood ash (a source of potassium): 100 g per 10 liters of water for root dressing and 200 g per 10 liters for spraying. Top dressing with ashes can be carried out only in the second year from the moment of transplantation. |
Mineral fertilizers can not be dissolved in water, but scattered around the bush on the soil in a dry form. After that, you need to slightly loosen the earth with a chopper.

Application methods
There are two main ways to apply fertilizer:
Foliar top dressing is carried out by spraying the leaves of the plant. The effect of it is achieved almost immediately, since the fertilizer is absorbed very quickly. Both organic and inorganic fertilizers can be applied in this way. Spray the rose with a nutrient solution in the morning or early evening, when the sun has not yet set. During the day, at night or at dusk, moisture on the leaves is undesirable. The droplets of water remaining overnight will not have time to evaporate and provoke infection with a fungus. In the scorching sun, the plant will get burned when the rays pass through the water.
But the most effective are basal top dressing, that is, the application of fertilizers directly to the soil. There are several ways:
Fertilizers should not be applied to dry soil, since there is a high risk of burning the root system.
Feeding roses in autumn
Abundant flowering takes a lot of strength and nutrients from the rose bush. To restore them, you need autumn dressing at the end of flowering. Then the next year the plant will delight with beautiful, lush flowers.
Contribute:
Starting from August-September, you should not apply nitrogen-containing fertilizers. They will increase the amount of greenery, and the rose will not have time to prepare for wintering. But phosphorus and potassium can even be added twice, in October and November.
Yeast leaches potassium from the soil, so after fertilizing with yeast, you need to sprinkle the ground around the bush with ash or water the plant with a solution of ash.
Complex preparations
A definite plus complex fertilizers is the simplicity of their use and the fact that all necessary for the plant substances.
Most Popular ready-made fertilizers for roses and features of their application are presented in the table:
Regardless of what fertilizer is used, the measure must be observed. Too much abundant top dressing can degrade the composition of the soil and cause a burn of the plant. Restoring the properties of soil spoiled by fertilizers will take a lot of time and effort.
Rose - luxury flower, which many flower growers would like to grow on their site. Unfortunately, in addition to the beautiful appearance, this flower is quite capricious and it is not easy to care for it. One of essential elements are top dressing - it is simply necessary to fertilize roses for abundant flowering. Fertilizer for roses is chosen carefully so that roses bloom and please the eye of their owner. You can feed roses by making a shallow furrow at the base of the bush and placing fertilizer there, or you can spray the plant (it is better to spray in cloudy weather). In this article we will tell you how to feed roses in spring for lush flowering, as well as about necessary fertilizers in summer and autumn period s.
Top dressing of roses in spring is carried out mainly using organic matter, thanks to these elements the flowers grow well. Organic - extremely useful view fertilizer for roses in spring and in summer period, because thanks to it, the nutritional value of the soil and the amount of useful elements increase significantly.
So, fertilizer for roses in spring consists largely of organic substances: for example, chicken manure is given to plants before flowering, and in summer - directly during the flowering period. But here you should carefully observe the dosage, because if there is an excess of fertilizers, the root system may suffer. For fresh litter, the dosage is 1:20, and for rotted litter - 1:10. This solution must be infused for five days, and then it is again diluted with water in a ratio of 1: 3.
Plant nutrition in spring period possible using cow dung. It is required less than chicken - the proportion should be 1:10. Infuse it for a week, and then add water in a ratio of 1: 2. For the first time, cow dung can be fed to plants already with the onset of heat.
You can also use an infusion based on fresh grass or even weeds (before they are inseminated). To do this, fill a small container three-quarters with grass, add 2 tbsp. spoons of soda ash, fill with water and leave to ferment. Then the resulting infusion is diluted in a ratio of 3:10 and garden flowers are fed. All this is done for the growth of plants and saturation of their energy.
What else to feed the roses before the buds open? Yeast - excellent organic fertilizer for roses - well suited for these purposes. We use fifty grams of yeast per liter of water and add a teaspoon of sugar. The mixture is kept warm for several hours, and then diluted with water and.
Top dressing of roses with organic substances is carried out not only in spring, but also in summer. It is worth saying that top dressing of roses during flowering is not always needed - it all depends solely on the variety of flowers and your own approach To a question. The best way- herbal infusions with the addition of peat. It is also allowed to use manure, which will saturate the soil with humus, making it richer. Your plants will be greatly helped by organic matter, but remember to use the correct dosage so that the root system of the flowers is not affected.
Mineral fertilizers
Top dressing of roses in the summer is carried out, for the most part, using mineral fertilizers, and it needs to be done several times - during budding, as well as during the flowering period. Back in May, in order for the bush to bloom profusely, potash-phosphorus mixtures are used (10 g of each product per 10 liters of water). The same operation is carried out in June, and in July 10 g of nitrophoska and some organic substances are added. In addition, you can “finish” the roses with ash.
Top dressing of roses during the budding period is carried out using potassium-based elements: saltpeter, potassium salt, potassium sulfate. All this will contribute to the violent flowering of roses.
Is it possible to feed roses during this period with nitrogen-containing fertilizers? It’s better not to - a lot of green shoots will appear, but new buds will appear poorly. However, this option is ideal for spring top dressing of your roses.
How to feed a rose in the garden in the autumn? When the plant is weakened after abundant flowering, you need to think about preparing for wintering. Elements such as potassium and phosphorus will help with this - for 10 liters of water you will need 15 grams of one or another element (choose only one!). If you want to combine them, do it carefully, and add 1 tbsp to 10 liters of water. a spoonful of superphosphate and 1 tbsp. a spoonful of potassium sulfate. Do not overdo it, for one bush you will not need more than 4 liters.
Over time, we figured out the application of top dressing, now we will once again denote what various mineral elements contribute to:
- thanks to nitrogen, new leaves and shoots grow quickly;
- phosphorus promotes root growth and strengthens flowers well before wintering;
- potassium promotes violent flowering;
- iron strengthens the rosette, helping to resist diseases.
The rose is the royal flower. A lush and luxurious rose bush will decorate any site. Not every gardener manages to achieve this: because of the mistakes made in the spring, when the plant is gaining strength and minerals for further growth. Roses need to be fed in a timely manner, using properly selected natural fertilizers or special garden preparations.

Fertilizers used to feed roses
In order for flowers to actively develop, they need 2 types of nutrients:
- macronutrients;
- trace elements.
Macronutrients are fertilizers that need to be supplied to the bushes regularly in large quantities. First of all, these are nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. These elements stimulate healthy growth, promote the development of roots, shoots, leaves, strengthen the buds and increase the period when the flower will bloom. Deficiency of these substances, primarily nitrogen, can lead to flower diseases and its unstable growth. Nitrogen helps to strengthen the shoots and branches of the bush, an urgent need for it is observed in the spring, while phosphorus and potassium must be added in the summer.
Spring is the time of the awakening of the rose. After winter, the flower needs powerful support in the form of nutrient fertilizers. The rose experiences the greatest need for nitrogen-phosphorus additives, which help the plant gain strength after winter, stimulate the development of new shoots, and contribute to the setting of buds.
How to improve productivity?We are constantly getting letters in which amateur gardeners are worried that due to the cold summer this year, a poor harvest of potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, and other vegetables. Last year we published TIPS about this. But unfortunately, many did not listen, but some still applied. Here is a report from our reader, we want to advise plant growth biostimulantswhich will help increase the yield by up to 50-70%.

Nitrogen is found in ammonium nitrate, urea, in liquid organics. In addition to it, it is recommended to use phosphate fertilizers: superphosphate, ammophos. When choosing, you should take into account the composition of the fertilizer, as a rule, phosphates also contain nitrogen, so you need to carefully choose the dosage. Sodium humate stimulates plant growth well - it is often used as an aid.
To fertilize the plant, you need to make a small circle with a radius of about 30 cm around a young or fragile bush after winter. After that, the substance (on average about 10 grams) must be carefully poured into the hole.
The fertilizer in the hole must be mulched (sprinkled with sawdust, peat or moss). You can pre-dilute top dressing in water and water the bush with it. One way or another, with the help of water, it will reach the root system.
The effect of mineral fertilizers is enhanced by the addition of manure or compost, which are laid out on top of the hole. In the spring, the foundation is laid for the future health of the bush, this is the main stage of feeding.
Top dressing in summer just before flowering
Even an abundant number of buds on a rose bush cannot be a guarantee of a lush and long flowering period. Nitrogen-phosphorus fertilizers stimulated the growth of the plant, however, in order for buds to appear on the shoots, which can fully bloom in the future, other minerals are needed.
An effective remedy fertilizers based on potassium will become: saltpeter, potassium salt, potassium chloride or potassium sulfate.
The lack of potassium in the soil will affect flowering: it will be scarce and insufficient. Also deficit potash fertilizers can provoke the development of diseases, especially during budding.
Yeast nutrition
Yeast is unique and universal material used in the most unexpected industries, including gardening. They are rich in vitamin B and other minerals, and the microorganisms inside the yeast contribute to the natural release of phosphorus and nitrogen in the soil.
The main condition for the effectiveness of feeding with yeast is heat. In the cold, microorganisms are not able to continue their development and produce useful compounds; they either stop growing or die altogether.
You need to start fertilizing roses with yeast even before the buds open, in the spring, when the weather is as warm as possible. For the solution, add 50 grams of yeast to 1 liter of warm water (you can use 1 gram of dry yeast) and 1 teaspoon of sugar.
The resulting mixture should be left warm for 2 hours, then dilute and water the flowers.
For the whole season, 2-3 such dressings are enough. You can break the process into stages: before flowering, in spring, and in summer. During top dressing should be added to the soil eggshell or wood ash to prevent yeast bacteria from absorbing potassium and calcium.

Manure top dressing
Manure can rightfully be called a favorite fertilizer. With its help, plants are transformed and begin to grow at an accelerated pace. You can fertilize flowers with manure at any time: before flowering, during and after it.
It is highly not recommended to use fresh manure, it is better to take rotted, horse or cow. It has all the necessary micro and macro elements that a rose needs throughout the entire life cycle. It can be applied to the soil in two ways: using mulch or during watering. When watering, manure must be diluted with water (about 2-3 buckets will be required per barrel), covered and left for two weeks. Then this solution is diluted with water in a ratio of 1:3.
Feeding a rose is a very important and necessary process in order for the bush to start timely and long flowering. At correct selection and dosage of fertilizers rose bushes will delight with luxurious buds throughout the summer.
