where do roses grow
Generally, rose plants can grow in pots, grow bags, unused vase, and climbing rose varieties such as Rosa ‘Constance spry’; those thin & soft stems can be trained to trellises or in suitable soil surfaces.
how to increase flowering in rose plants
If there is ample supply of NPK & micronutrients to flowering plants, especially for rose plants it increases bud blooming & flowering.
Animal Manure:
Cow manure or Goat manure application improves soil fertility, and aeration and supplies necessary nutriment to the flowering plants but it is slow-release fertilizer. Apply one handful of 3 months old compost 2 months once & for plants on the soil surface apply two or three small amount of old compost.
1.Vermicompost:
It is an all-purpose fertilizer with the supply of npk organic fertilizer in equal proportions. But most importantly applies quality vermicompost. One or two spoons apply around the soil for pot plants and double it for ground plants. In 3 months once.
2. Leaf compost:
Nothing but dried leaves, bark, and wood chips of all your garden trees. It acts as mulching for the plants and it provides a good microclimate for the plants.
For rose plants, npk needs of about 20:20:20, and heavy feeding varieties require more.
1. Neem cake powder: The application can be done either as foliar spray or top dressing. One handful of neem powder is enough for 10-12’’ pot rose plants. It will protect the plants from root diseases & pest attacks.
2. Groundnut cake powder: This groundnut powder contains more ‘N’ content compared to Neem cake. It has an NPK in the ratio of 7.5:1.5:1.3. Monthly once smaller amount application is ample to grow Rose plants.
3. Mustard cake powder: In addition, this organic powder consits of micronutrients such as Zn, S, Mn & others. This mustard cake powder is the most useful organic powder to enhance the good growth of plants.
These 3 organic cake powders can be applied only in smaller quantities to rose plants. And also you can apply these 3 at the same time or any 2 @ the same time.
1. Steamed bone meal: This application is done especially for ‘Phosphorus & Calcium’. This bio-fertilizer steamed bone meal can be applied either as a top dressing or added along with your potting, in about 4 months once.
2. Blood meal, Hoof meal, and Horn meal: This bio-fertilizer can also be applied to rose plants. It supplies more ‘N’ content to plants compared to manure. But most importantly, not to forget these bio-fertilizers should be applied only in smaller quantities.
BIO-STIMULANT
Seaweed Extract: It boosts plant growth and protects from pests and diseases. Apply 4 to 5 scoops or spoon per gallon of water once in about 3 months once.
1.Onion skin peel & Eggshell waste: Don’t throw these peels and shells into the dustbin. Applying these two plants provides minerals potassium, calcium, proteins, and antioxidants.
| Options | Cycle 1 | Cycle2 | Cycle 3 |
| 1. | Compost+Groundnut cake powder+Bone meal powder | Liquid fertilizer(or)Sea weed extract | Cow manure+Compost |
| 2. | Bone meal powder | Liquid fertilizer | Home based fertilizer |
| 3. | Neem cake powder+Compost+ Bone meal | - | Goat manure +Vermicompost |
| 4. | Mustard cake + compost | - | Animal manure+ groundnut cake |
| 5. | Compost + organic manure(any) | Sea weed extract | Animal manure +Home based fertilizer |
Watering: Regularly water the rose plant in summer or even on alternate days. In winter, reduce water supplementation. Check pots drainage holes properly to protect from root rot.
Pruning: Trim the dead, dried, matured plant parts. Do not over prune the plants & its carried for twice in a year.
Soil refilling: Make a regular check on the soil condition in the pot or growbags. And plants get new growth by refilling.
Nowadays people need quicker results & faster plant growth so most of them use chemical fertilizers for higher-yielding in plants and pollute the environment unnecessarily.
Go green with organic fertilizers for good plant growth & save mother earth with greens!!
