i have used rose fertilizer and plant food on them. they grow nice but no flowers.
My rose bushes will not blossom why?
Check the fertilizer you're using...My guess is that it contains a lot of nitrogen...OK quick fertilizer 101-There a always three numbers on any fertilizer you buy; the first is always nitrogen, the second is always phosphorus, and the third is always potash...Nitrogen, makes a plant grow up, and turn green, phosphorus, promotes strong root growth, and blooming; and potash is an all around tonic...When fertilizing blooming plants I fertilize with a normal fertilizer the first 2-3 times, then I switch to a "bloom booster" these products vary considerably; look for a product where the second number is higher than the first...Also it sounds like you're OVER fertilizing...plant food, and fertilizer, are the same thing...you might want to stop feeding(fertilizing)...
Reply:Are they getting full sun? Don't feed them anymore for 6 weeks or so.
Reply:roses need a TON of full sun...i had one small one do that, and had to transplant it...
