Product Information

Roses are not one size fits all—there are multiple types, from shrub roses to hybrid tea roses, climbing roses, and groundcover roses. The first step in growing roses is selecting the right rose bush or rose plant for your yard or garden. Roses, regardless of the type, grow best in full sun in well-drained soil. Putting the right plant in the right place goes a long way toward growing healthy plants. So which rose is right for you? Dig a planting hole that is two inches shallower than the height of the root ball, and twice as wide. For the remainder of the first growing season, water thoroughly a couple of times per week.Once plants are established in the landscape, you will only need to water roses during drought conditions. If the leaves take on a greyish cast or begin to curl, you’ll know the plants need water. Feeding: Levington® Rose, Tree and Shrub compost contains season long feed for the first season, no feeding is required. We recommend that plants are fed with Miracle-Gro® Rose and Shrub Plant Food, so that they continue to grow with abundance in the following seasons.

Organic vs. Chemical Fertilizers Plants may have poor fruit or seed development, most common among vegetables and fruit crops such as apples, potatoes, broccoli, tomatoes, and raspberries.

How to use Established roses and shrubs Mix equal parts of Miracle-Gro® Garden Soil for Roses(orMiracle-Gro® Garden Soil for Flowers) and the soil removed from the planting hole, and fill in around the shrub. Cover the top of the root ball with an inch of the soil mixture. If planting in a pot, useMiracle-Gro® Potting Mix. Nitrogen is an essential component of proteins, chlorophyll, enzymes, and DNA. It is necessary for plant metabolism, photosynthesis, and many growth and development processes. Symptoms of a nitrogen deficiency in plants may include: If you correctly apply Miracle-Gro to your plants, they can grow healthy and strong. Also, keep in mind that fertilizers are not medicine. On the contrary, fertilizer is designed to provide plants with the nutrients needed. In addition to these nutrients, growing plants require the correct energy from the sun, water, and carbon dioxide. Signs of Over FertilizationThe best way to choose a suitable fertilizer is to have your soil tested. The soil test report will recommend a fertilizer grade for your use. For the first 2 months after you first plant a rosebush, give the plant a deep, thorough soaking 2-3 times per week with a hose. If you reach your finger into the soil and the top 2 inches are still moist, however, wait a few days. Miracle-Gro is an excellent fertilizer if you use it sparingly and carefully followed the directions for proper use.

Water regularly while the plant is getting established, and in times of drought after the first growing season.See also: The Best Insecticide To Successfully Get Of Japanese Beetles Is It Bad To Use Miracle-Gro? First, allow the plants to get settled in the garden. Then, after the first month, feed plants withMiracle-Gro® Shake ’n Feed® Rose & Bloom Plant Foodto help replace the nutrition your growing roses have taken up from the soil, so your plant will produce beautiful blooms. Be sure to follow label directions. How to Prune Roses Watering: For best results ensure that the soil around the plant does not dry out in the first seasons. To help conserve water around precious plants, apply a mulch, such as Levington Water Saving Bark. This will also suppress weeds. Using the soil mixture (or potting mix for containers), build a mound in the planting hole that almost reaches to top of the hole. Use a measuring tape to measure the length of the roots (from the tip of the roots to where the roots meet the stem).

Place the plant in the planting hole. The top of the root ball should be about an inch above the edge of the hole. (Soil will settle over time, so you don’t want to plant the rose too deep.) NOTE: We strongly recommend using Miracle-Gro® Peat Free Premium Azalea, Camellia & Rhododendron, Ericaceous Compost for acid loving plants like Azaleas, Rhododendrons and Heather. Where to use Position the plant and fill with 50% soil and 50% of Miracle-Gro® Peat Free Premium Rose, Tree & Shrub Compost and firm around the base. Mix equal parts ofMiracle-Gro® Garden Soil for Roses(orMiracle-Gro® Garden Soil for Flowers) and the soil removed from the planting hole. If planting in a container, use withMiracle-Gro® Potting Mix. Either way, you are helping ensure that roses receive ample nutrition while establishing new roots in the garden.

How to repot: Wash the containers and water the plant. Place a layer of compost in the base of the pot. Tap out the plant from the old pot, loosen the root ball and place in the centre of the pot. Fill the space around the root ball, ensuring the compost level covers all the roots. Firm lightly, water thoroughly and let drain. As a general rule, too much of anything, including fertilizer, can hurt plants. Whether you decide to use Miracle-Gro brand fertilizer or any fertilizer, it’s essential to understand that misuse or over-application can lead to poor plant health and even death. Planting out: Water the plant thoroughly. Dig a hole twice as big as the root ball. Part fill the hole with a mix of 50% soil and 50% Levington® Rose, Tree and Shrub Compost. Ensure the plant is at the same level as in the pot. To provide stability for taller plants a stake may be hammered into the ground and the plant loosely tied to it. Fill in firmly and water. Generally, phosphorus deficiency is uncommon. However, apples, lettuce, carrots, spinach, and grasses seem to be more highly susceptible.
