jim1961 Zone 6a Central Pa.Updated Remember a rose bush can only take up so many nutrients at one time. If it does not have many leaves than a much smaller dose would be used... I actually stunted the growth of a couple smaller double KO's one year from giving them...

braverichard (6a, North MO)Updated I can't say my Climbing Orchid Masterpiece came in good shape in the bag but I was able to pot it up, feed it and nurture it to get it to "grow up." So now I'm quite dissappointed in the lack of blooms on a bush that is ...

jjpeace (zone 5 US/zone 6 Can)Updated I said it before that not only does a good rose depends on the individual vigor of the plant but also on where you plant it and the general climate zone hence micro and macro climate. The only rose that I have planted twice is Pea...

jjpeace (zone 5 US/zone 6 Can)Updated Thanks for the info, guys. Sorry about your Americas, summersrhythm. However, we did have cold winter weather last year so it may have affected them as first year plants.

cadiarose(zone 7a, NJ)Updated Denisemill, yes, Bolero is a beauty! When I saw it I had to have it even though I truly, truly have NO space. I'll have to think about it a bit, but it's going to get planted somewhere I can see it frequently. No pot ghetto inhabt...

socksUpdated Thank you for all the helpful information. Yes, the mulch is 4" most everywhere, but later today I'm adding more to spots that I see thinning. One thing about the drought, I'm seeing fewer weeds.

cleangeek(Zone 9)Updated I'm not ashamed to say I use Miracle Grow Bloom Booster, 15-30-15 at half strength every two weeks works for me. A 1.5 lb box is $6 and it lasts two years. I add a layer of compost in the spring and fertilize March - September.

michaelg(7a NC Mts)Updated High phosphorus fertilizers are not good for roses or any plant unless the soil is quite deficient, which it usually is not. I know every other garden book says otherwise, but these are out of touch with plant science.

fragrancenutter(Zone 10b)Updated FM is one of the few roses that took 3 years to perform really well in my garden. The first year it mildewed a lot. Second year it grew into a tree sized monster 10 x 10 x 6 feet. I hacked it down to 2 feet in winter like any o...
