Hi, everyone! I like using 'natural' nutrients for my plants when possible. Always bury peelings & other kitchen discards in flower beds. What other cupboard ingredients are useful? Anything good for roses? Thanks all!

Someone told me roses love bananas and peels. I have put banana peels all around my rosebushes this year and they seem to be doing much better. I also use teabags. I dump the used leaves out of the gauze bags out under my roses. Good luck.

Adding 1/4 cup of epsom salts to the roses around March is a good idea. It's really getting a little to warm right now in some areas. Not sure that I would recommend it. I would wait till Oct or Nov or you might risk burnin the roses.

Hi
How does everyone feel about MiracleGrow, wheather it meets the roses needs and if you think foliage feeding is okay as well.
thanks

I use miraclegro for a lot of my plants, for the roses I Use Bayer all in one rose care. Not to crazy about foliar feeding for the roses though, I hate burn spots.
