feeding roses


Here's a picture of my rose garden. I've been saving and drying banana peels to add potassium to the soil but it too cold and blustery to do that today. I've decided to post a rose garden photo each month to document it's progress. In April or after the last frost, I start out feeding every ten days or so with Scotts Rose & Bloom. I also use Miracle Gro for roses and a generic brand of bone meal to add nitrogen. I'm sure we will add another layer of mulch and because we have very friendly neighborhood deer I use  Liquid Fence Deer Repellent on a regular basis. It smells like stinky feet but it's a bud saver!!
