My rose bushes will not blossom why?
Question:i have used rose fertilizer and plant food on them. they grow nice but no flowers.
Answers:
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)...
roses need a TON of full sun...i had one small one do that, and had to transplant it...
Are they getting full sun? Don't feed them anymore for 6 weeks or so.
