Roses are known for their high care needs and finicky nature, which is why so many gardeners struggle to get the bright, big rose blooms that they want. Roses are hungry plants, and they need to eat regularly. If you plan to add roses to your garden, then you’ll need to be prepared to keep them fed and happy. Roses require three primary nutrients: nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Nitrogen helps support foliage growth, phosphorus keeps the roots healthy and potassium helps ward off disease. Additionally, roses also need trace elements like boron, chlorine, copper and iron. While it is possible to compost your own rose food, it can be challenging to create a compost that includes all the elements your roses need to thrive unless you are a highly experienced gardener and composter. Most new and casual gardeners prefer to purchase rose fertilizer at their local nursery or gardening store. Rose fertilizers can be either organic or synthetic. Organic fertilizers are made from plants, while synthetic fertilizers include chemicals and inorganic matter. Both types of fertilizer can produce good results as long as they include the key nutrients that roses need and are adapted to your growing zone.
