Hello,

I'm completely new to gardening and roses, but I thought I would start
out right and install an automatic irrigation system. So now I have a
dip system set up and 16 roses in my garden. Each rose has one, 1
gallon emitter on its uphill side at the drip line.

My question is, how do I fertilize these roses? Since I'm using a drip
system the fertilizer will not get into the soil unless it rains. When
the drip system is active the water immediately soaks into the soil and
does not contact the fertilizer on the surface.

Thanks,
Jon
