Boost Roses for Winter: Gardeners' Secret Recipe
Gardeners, take note! As winter approaches, particularly in October, your rose bushes need extra nourishment to brave the cold nights. Here's a simple yet effective recipe to give your roses a boost.
Mix 20g of monopotassium phosphate into water, adding a squeeze of lemon juice to help it dissolve. This solution, when sprayed generously on rose leaves, provides essential nutrients. To ensure the solution sticks, add a dash of liquid soap, acting as an adherent. While this method isn't universally endorsed by plant specialists, it's a tried-and-true technique among gardeners to support roses through winter and encourage vibrant blooming in the new year.
So, as the nights turn chilly in October, remember to give your rose bushes this nutrient-rich spray. It's a small effort that could make a big difference in their winter survival and next year's bloom.
