A round-up on Roses

We have a total of 5 rose plants currently in our garden. With a dab of Panchagavyam and epsom salt they are growing very healthy and producing lots of flowers. This is a great news for us because in the previous years, our roses bloomed only 2-3 flowers per year.  But that is not going to be the story any more :).

During the previous years of gardening we used to just buy the rose plant and pot it in a big terracotta pot and then leave it.We used to water the plants daily and due to the high quality of the soil the plants will start blooming even without any extra boost .. but our current residence does not have good quality soil.

Same story here..

So nowadays along with buying plants, we go for collecting red soil from the road nearby the railway track as well. The potting mix used this time was red soil+manure+plenty of sand.

It took some time for us to get the plants to change from the chemical fertilizers to our organic feed but I must say the plants responded quicker.There are lots of bud and basal canes in our roses now.
