Spring Feeding Your Roses: 3 Mistakes to Avoid — and What Works Instead

As soon as the first warmth of spring arrives, your rose bushes awaken from dormancy — and they need a nutrient boost to reward you with long, lush blooms. But many gardeners start without a clear plan and end up making mistakes that cost them dearly.

  1. Waiting too long — after winter, your roses are already weakened and easily attacked by pests.

  2. Using the wrong fertilizer mix — just nitrogen won’t cut it; roses also need phosphorus and potassium at the right stages.

  3. Skipping proper timing — feed too early or too late, and you’ll see weak shoots or poor flowering.
