I just realized that I never gave Blanc double de Coubert her spring feeding. Usually I give her RoseTone and manure, but as summer approaches, for most of my roses, I switch to Osmocote. I remember BDdC doesn't like any kind of spray, but I can't remember if she objects to these chemical continuous feeds.

Can't remember if I ever used alfalfa with her. Would it be a nice way to make up for neglecting her spring feed? BDdC is actually blooming very nicely--best ever, in fact--so I guess she is not too mad at me.

Appreciate your input.
