Could somebody please tell me if epsom salts are used to feed roses
and what strength do I make the solution.

Thanks
Lori


Hi Lori,

Many trees & shrubs can benefit from periodic feeding with liquid epsom
salts (magnesium sulfate) because it promotes nitrogen uptake. Plants with
blue foliage also 'blue up' when dosed with Epsom salts.

I use one tablespoon liquid epsom salts per gallon of water, or one
teaspoon crystal epsom salts per gallon of water.
