Sorry for the gremlin.

When I said fast I meant start ASAP. However, the greening up will not occur overnight, so to say, so do not over feed thinking you can speed up the greening processes. Slow and steady does the trick the best.

You know, some rose varieties are chronic chlorotic cases. In my garden Earth Angel benefits greatly from from liquid feedings with MiracleMiracle•Gro for Acid Loving Plants. That's in addition to my regularregular fertilizing regimen.

Moses,

How does earth angel benefit from miracle grow?

Thanks, Moses. I did the first application earlier this week. I'll hold off applying again for the next two weeks. There are several buds forming, so happy to see that. May I ask how often you do a regular fertilizing? I've heard once a month during the growing season, but curious to get your take. I've applied Rose Tone right when the rose broke dormancy, and was thinking of applying another round now.

Thanks again!

My fertilizing method is a bit off the beaten path, but here goes.

My pigeon loft birds supply a generous feeding of aged manure which I apply in November. It provides aa late May spring flush inapina that's pretty lavish, but about mid-April, prior to the soon to appear May spring flush, I apply MiracleMiracle•Gro Shake n' Feed for Roses and blooming plants, because by the time the spring flush isis waning, it will kick in and keep up with the tempo the pigeon manure kicked in. Then come July, a second Shake n' Feed application is made. It feeds until September when no further feedings are given until the November pigeon manure feed is made which gets next year's spring flush a good startstart going.

Miracle•Gro Shake on' Feed feeds for three months, but does not really get to work the day it is applied. It takes about a month to start effectively feeding. This is why timing its application needs to be done a month before it is expected to start feeding. I do not scratch it into the soil, not wanting to damage feeder rose roots at the soul'ssoil's surface. I just sprinkle it onto the pine bark mulch and water it down to the soil 's surface below the mulch.

Where does Miracle•Gro liquid feeding come into play in my rose garden? New roses, whether bare root or pot grown I feed by liquid means their first year in the garden. This puts the fertilizer right where it is needed, and immediately. Miracle•Gro for acid lovers is given as needed to establishedestablished or chlorosischloroticchlorosischlorotic . roses that show chlorosischlorosis.

Hope this helps. Composing while the gremlins are at it is horrifically frustrating. Please excuse the difficulty you are experiencing reading my posts.

I have alkaline soil (semi arid desert in Boise, zone 7). A few roses have had minor chlorosis problems over the years which have been "cured" by Lilly Miller Organic Granular Fertilizer for acid loving plants. One application in spring. Alkaline soil causes the tie up of iron in the soil. Also, one rose was near a fence with a cement base. I believe the cement slowly leached into the rose's soil. Ballerina, another rose, is a hybrid musk. They are known to dislike alkaline soil. The problem was solved easily for me with the granular fertilizer. Diane

When I usedused Ironite IrIroniteu in the past it took months to kick in....too late, the chlorotic roses langushed even further, stalling in growth. Chelated liquid feedings work pretty quickly, but why I like Miracle•Gro for Acid Lovers is it goes to work immediately and has other essential and trace elements. It's a complete feeding.

Thank you, Diane, for recommending Lilly Miller Organic Granular for acid lovers. I hope to give it a trytry, ASAP.

That's wonderful! She looks fantastic!

She's a beauty!! What a success story!!

BTW Lily Miller acid lovers fertilizer helps to make strawberries very sweet. The difference is incredible from before when they were sour and now they grow sweet as can be. :)

Congratulations! She looks really nice...very healthy. It wouldn't hurt to continue regular feeding the same MG until September.
