What and how to feed the autumn roses: a pledge generous garden
Fiery salute comrades - growers!
Someone rose has faded, and others in the midst of the second wave of flowering. It depends on the variety, cultivation region, weather conditions and the characteristics of care dacha rosary.
But in the first and in the second case, do not neglect the autumn fertilizing roses. Because abundant flowering is, of course, the enthusiasm of the owner of the garden, and for roses can be a major stress - how many nutrients bush spends on beauty!
The meaning and objective autumn fertilizing is as follows:
- Fill the stock of minerals spent on flowering.
- Direct the course of roses for fast aging of young shoots. Because if they do not, they will be is stuck frost and no good for the whole plant will not.
Therefore, emphasis should go on fertilizing potassium and phosphorus.
Important! Never make a winter nitrogen fertilizers, including manures, litters, herbal infusions. By mulching with humus / compost is also better to treat with caution: to work only after the frost, because it is also organic nitrogen. If you make it easy after the establishment of sub-zero temperatures, it will be in time to save and rose, and forced her to go into growth.
Options fertilizing roses in autumn
Ideally, you can make two feeding:
- Now, at the beginning of September, we do foliar fertilizer - spray the solution rose mnofosfatom superphosphate and potassium (5 g in 10 liters water). I advise first stirring them in a small amount of warm almost hot water. Because by taking cold, the gardener may experience some difficulty.
- After a couple of weeks on a bed sprinkle granular fertilizer, again, with phosphorus and potassium. Firms now produce excellent balanced preparations with extra micronutrients. By the way, if you have fertilizer for onions and garlic "fop", it is also ideal composition.
Some tools as an example, I joined in the gallery by signing NPK ratio in the composition. So you will understand how to choose, going to the store shelf.
If you need to choose one thing, then choose the beads of soil. Yes, spraying plant fertilizer acts faster. But granules - longer. Sprinkle them on a bed in early September to minerals fed rose to its slumber.
There is also a "people's choice". Its effectiveness is significantly lower than that of specially designed formulations. But some gardeners for some reason persistently used his grandmother's money (and it is their right!). This is what can be replaced by a terrible and horrible purchased chemistry:
- For foliar feeding solution suitable wood ash. The recipe is simple: 1 cup 10 liters of warm water. Stir and leave for 2 days.
- For root fertilization instead of granular fertilizers can be used the same wood ash (potash) and bone meal (phosphorus). Dosing using analogous purchased mineral preparations.
I wish all the beautiful roses! If the article was interesting, please do not stint on the "Thumbs up" in response.
