Can anybody tell me - Do I feed roses grown in containers the same as roses grown in the ground? Do they need a granular feed in April or just a liquid feed during the summer?
I manage to get some horse manure and dig some of it into the pot with a garden hand fork or try removing some of the compost and replace it with the horse dung and top up the rest with fresh compost . I have about 15 roses in pots and just done this a few days ago I also flung in a bit of bonemeal purchased from "bargains ". Through the growing season I shall feed with a seaweed feed also .A few of my roses I have taken from cuttings and are doing quite well in pots 👍
I’ve usually just given mine rose food every few weeks all through the growing season, with some seaweed mix when I had any handy and then a bit of bonemeal in the autumn.
I have just weeded and removed the top 3/4 ins of soil from my roses growing in pots. I put farm yard manure around each one and topped off with general potting compost. I will give them liquid tomato feed during the growing season.
