Rose beginner needs advice on container roses

16 years ago

Hello!!

Last year at this time I started my rose collection and because I rent, I have to put my roses in large pots. I didn't do much for them last season (per lack of knowledge) and I would love some advice on a few things to maximize their potential this season.

I know everyone has a different opinion on fertilizers, but can anyone name a good fertilizer and how often I should feed? What ratio is best for container roses?

Also, how often should I spray for bugs and disease? Every few weeks or once a month? Again, what is a good one to use?

Is there a basic monthly regimen I should follow for a great season?

Thanks, I appreciate all the expertise
