Re: Roses

Hi

Roses are like ladies.

Lovely to look at but very high maintenance and prickly.

Glad to see that it survived the winds Mups. It's really impressive.

Re: Roses

No. That is correct dongles . . you won't - not if you know what's good for you.

Swimmy's a thoroughly bad influence at times.

Re: Roses

Re: Roses

Hi Ruthio,

I would put a sprinkling of "Top Rose" around the base of the plants every spring, then hoe and water it in.
Do the same again around July time.

In between I'd probably give a liquid tomato feed every now and then too. Roses are quite hungry feeders.

If they are in tubs, like a lot of mine are, I change the top 3" or so of compost every year too, checking for Vine Weeval at the same time.

Don't forget to keep dead heading, too, it'll help make more blooms come.

Thankyou Mups xx
