Supplies required: feed with a high nitrogen and potash content
Making It: $20–$25*
Roses are lovely plants, but they need a lot of care and are very hungry. Throughout their lives, they require frequent feeding and watering to ensure that you obtain the most development and flowers. Following the late-winter pruning in February, Classic Roses suggests a nitrogen-rich feed for your roses. During the flowering period, you should then feed your roses every two weeks with a high-potash blend.

The contrast between the roses that have been fed and those that haven't is evident when comparing images. Products like Uncle Tom's Rose Tonic, Tomorite, and comparable brands are tried-and-true methods for maintaining the beauty, health, and well-being of your roses.
