Rose fertilization method

1. During the growth stage of roses, liquid fertilizer cannot be used directly. It needs to be diluted with water and then sprinkled on the surface of the soil. When the plant is in flowering, you need to pay attention to applying more liquid fertilizer mainly containing phosphorus. Solid fertilizer does not need to be so troublesome and can be directly mixed into the soil.

2. When the rose is in its dormant period, the growth of the plant is basically stagnant, so fertilization can be stopped at this time.
