The rose is the undisputed leader among flowers that attracts attention in the garden, however, caring for it requires special care. Nutrition plays an important role in the care of roses, because their reserves decrease rapidly and need to be replenished from time to time. Three weeks before covering the roses for the winter, I use a specific fertilizer that aims to increase their resistance to the cold. These roses, fertilized in autumn, surprise with their splendour and flowering the following year.
For a correct diet, elements such as phosphorus, potassium, boron and magnesium are needed. Phosphorus enhances the growth and strength of the roots, potassium helps roses to accumulate dry substances in the trunk and roots, accelerating the ripening of the protective bark and increasing their resistance to winter. Boron is important for young rose shoots as it is unevenly distributed throughout the plant, which can lead to boron deficiency in young branches, making them less resistant to winter frosts.
To prepare the solution we need 1 tablespoon of potassium monophosphate, 1 teaspoon of boric acid and 10 liters of water.
First, boric acid is dissolved in hot water and then poured into the main container.
Roses should be watered from the roots, and then it is recommended to sprinkle dolomite flour, which contains calcium and magnesium, which will be useful for roses in autumn and spring.
This powder also helps reduce the acidity of the soil, which roses prefer to avoid.
